Acclaimed by the New York Classical Review as “a vision of sunshine and joy”, possessing a “lovely lyric soprano”, Ashley Fabian is quickly garnering recognition for her artistry in both comedic and dramatic roles. She is celebrated for her “voice of immense warmth and scintillating spin” (parterre), and her command of the stage has been praised by critics and audiences across the nation.
Ms. Fabian began the 2022/2023 season by covering the title role in the new Simon Stone production of Lucia di Lammermoor at Los Angeles Opera, conducted by Lina González-Granados. She joined the Columbus Symphony Orchestra and the Utah Symphony as the Soprano Soloist in Carmina Burana, where Utah Arts Review noted her “utterly sublime rendition” and “gorgeous crystalline tone”. She then made more company and role debuts, singing Pamina in Die Zauberflöte with Pacific Opera Project, and appearing as a Soprano Soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in Traveler’s Prayer by Steve Reich under the baton of Brad Lubman. She most recently made her debut at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium as Phyllis in Iolanthe with MasterVoices. This summer, Ms. Fabian will return to Opera Neo as Bellezza in Händel’s Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno led by Jory Vinikour.
