Praised for her “ravishing voice” and “compelling stage presence” , Turkish-American soprano Öznur Tülüoğlu is establishing herself as a young, rising artist “destined for bigger things.” 

​​

This season, Öznur will take the stage as a soloist with the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic, performing in Orff's Carmina Burana and Dolores White's Give Birth to a Dream.

Last season highlighted Öznur’s versatility with notable roles including Gilda at Mobile Opera, Younger Alyce in Glory Denied at Annapolis Opera, Aspasia in Mitridate at Opera Neo, and Barbarina in Le Nozze di Figaro at Annapolis Opera. Additionally, she made a notable appearance at the Washington National Opera, premiering the role of The Pigeon in Carlos Simon's new children's operetta, Don't Let the Pigeon Sing Up Late!, alongside Renée Fleming and Mo Willems.

Öznur was recently honored with the Encouragement Award at The Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition for the Colorado-Wyoming district.

This past summer, Öznur joined Chautauqua Opera as an Apprentice Artist, where she performed the roles of Young Woman in a world premiere of A.E. Reverie, Camila in Pepito, and Sandman in Hansel and Gretel. She also served as the Soprano Soloist in Beethoven's 9th Symphony with the Chautauqua Symphony.
