Her appearance marks one of the most moving moments to open this year's festival, heralding the peak of artistic fusion that combines classical music, pop, and dance.
Ashley, an elite musician who graduated from Manhattan School of Music in New York, is considered an "artist creating a new language of popera" with a unique stage that adds modern sensibility to classical vocalization.
Her performances were invited to major cities around the world, including New York, London, and Singapore, and have been praised by critics around the world as a `global voice in perfect harmony with emotion and technique.'
Since he gained public recognition by appearing in Season 6 of Mnet's "I Can See Your Voice" as 'New York Popera Fairy', he has solidified his presence in numerous concerts, musicals, and orchestra performances.
In 2025, he starred in the musical "Mr. Taylor" and is expanding his spectrum as an artist beyond vocalists with deep acting and rich expression.
At the opening performance of the Seoul Ballet Festival, Ashley will perform a special stage that breaks the boundaries between ballet and popera.
Her voice goes beyond just singing and communicates with audiences on the world stage with a warm resonance that conveys human life, love, and the meaning of art.
The Seoul Ballet Festival, a representative art festival involving top domestic and foreign dancers and ballet companies, will be held on the Seoho Waterfront in Seokchon Lake in Seoul from the 17th (Friday) to the 19th (Sun). It is leading the popularization and internationalization of Korean ballet through an outdoor ballet stage enjoyed with citizens.
This year, various performances and participation programs will be held for three days under the theme of 「Art, On the Stage of Daily Life」.
