She is a recognised artist with Opera Queensland and has appeared in over fifty mainstage productions most recently in the 2025 season of La Boheme.
She began adjudicating in 2012, to regions along the East Coast of Australia, working with Eisteddfods, both regional and national, as well as the International Music Examination Board. 2025 adjudicating engagements included Beenleigh, Armidale and Wynnum Eisteddfods and Lourdes Hill Vocal Competition.
D’Arne enjoyed her first taste of feature films, onscreen in Thor: Ragnarok, recordings have included Opera’s Greatest Choruses with Opera Queensland and Brisbane Chamber Choir Mass of the Dreaming.
Within her freelance career, D’Arne is a regular entertainer at corporate events and includes performing the New Zealand National Anthem at the Bledisloe Cup within her performance reel. She toured Queensland as part of the renowned Morning Melodies series and produced workshops and education shows for Queensland Festival of Bands touring central Queensland. She works regularly as a simulated patient with RACGP, UQ AND JCU University exams.
