Maestra Lee works at the Accademia della Scala in Milano, in opera houses internationally, and recently made her Carnegie Hall Debut in a recital with Operavision’s own, the legendary Aprile Millo. Having been on our staff for the past four years, Maestra Lee brings a wealth of knowledge of style, language, and performance practice in opera and she is one of the rare human orchestras as an accompanist. We are very proud to have her as a permanent member of our faculty and wish her success and congratulations in all that she aspires. Grazie Maestra Lee!
