As a teacher, Ashlee spent most of 2020 teaching online with student all over NSW and VIC. She has now gained a following of student of all levels, ranging from young children to adults. Many students have found the experience to be convenient yet still fulfilling.
More recently Ashlee has been training in screen acting in Melbourne with the intention to bring more truth and honesty into her performances. This often translates into her teaching model, adapting the techniques such as Stanislavsky, Laban and Practical aesthetics into her performance teaching. As a singer, Ashlee will make her debut as Violetta Valery in La Traviata with Opera Hunter July this year.
In 2019, she starred in the role of Nedda with Outlaw Opera’s preview performance of Pagliacci with the Stardust Circus. This was after featuring as Lucia Di Lammermoor in the title role with Outlaw Opera, having just received rave reviews as Musetta in La Bohème with the Central Coast Opera (2018) fresh off performances of both Zerlina in Don Giovanni and Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro with Opera Hunter (2016-2017).
Ashlee was engaged as First Lady Die Zauberflöte making her Carnegie Hall debut with the Manhattan Opera Studio in NYC, where she also made her debut at the National Opera Center in 2018.
While at The Sydney Conservatorium Opera School, she sang Despina Cosi fan tutte, Herald of Dawn The Fairy Queen, the role of Calisto in La Calisto and Pamina Die Zauberflöte. While at Newcastle Conservatorium, she sang Fiordiligi in Cosi fan Tutti and Dido Dido and Aeneas and Night The Fairy Queen with The Macquarie Singers.
2017 offered this young singer an internship with Opera Australia for their production of Tosca, as well as a position covering baroque specialist Miriam Allan in a performance of Haydn’s Creation. She also appeared as soprano soloist in Rossini’s Stabat Mater with the the Ku-ring-gai Philharmonic Orchestra.
