Mayaan Licht

Imagine Farinelli meets Freddie Mercury. Enter Maayan Licht, the dazzling sopranista hailed as one of Europe’s most electrifying new stars, making his long-awaited Australian debut. With a stage persona as flamboyant as it is fearless, he unleashes devilish trills and high-voltage charisma on the virtuosic arias of Vivaldi, Handel, and Porpora.

At his side, the brilliant early-music master Neal Peres da Costa leads a hand-picked baroque ensemble, driving the drama with glittering brilliance. Expect a night where baroque fire meets rock-star glamour.

But it isn’t just about the high notes. Licht brings a quicksilver sense of character to every phrase, switching between tenderness, swagger and bite with effortless confidence. What could be pure display becomes something far more engaging — music with personality.

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