Live At Adelaide: Maayan Licht, Coloratura Queen

“One of the absolute shooting stars of the international opera scene.” -Ruhr Nachrichten

Live at Yours makes its long awaited Adelaide debut at the stunning mood-lit Town Hall with superstar sopranista Maayan Licht, who will leave you buzzing from head to toe!

Imagine Farinelli meets Freddie Mercury — and you’re sitting close enough to feel the electricity. Maayan Licht arrives in Australia for his long-awaited debut with a voice so high, so fearless, it feels almost impossible… until you hear it live.

Joined by the brilliant Neal Peres da Costa leading a hand-picked Baroque ensemble, Licht detonates a sequence of arias that are pure theatre: jealousy and swagger, seduction and heartbreak, prayer-like stillness and hurricane-force virtuosity.

From Vivaldi’s molten “Vedrò con mio diletto” and ice-cold “Gelido in ogni vena”, to Broschi’s showstopping “Son qual nave”, Handel’s dazzling “Da tempeste il legno infranto”, Porpora’s aching virtuosity, and a delicious collision of Handel and Beyoncé — this is Baroque opera at full voltage.

This isn’t just vocal acrobatics — it’s character, chemistry, and storytelling at full voltage.

A voice like this is rare. Hearing it this close is rarer still.
