With more than 100 million TikTok views and hailed as “one of the absolute shooting stars of the international opera scene”, countertenor Maayan Licht makes his Australian debut in Coloratura Queen.

Presented by Live at Yours, this electrifying one-night-only Melbourne performance pairs Licht with acclaimed keyboardist Neal Peres Da Costa and a hand-picked Baroque ensemble for a spectacular programme of Handel, Vivaldi, Porpora and Broschi. Expect dazzling coloratura, breathtaking virtuosity and high drama, with highlights including Vivaldi’s Vedrò con mio diletto and Gelido in ogni vena, Handel’s Da tempeste il legno infranto, Broschi’s Son qual nave—and perhaps even an unexpected meeting of Handel and Beyoncé.

Described by Concerti Opera Magazine as an artist for whom “vocal artistry doesn’t get any greater”, Licht brings a fearless, contemporary energy to Baroque music in a performance that promises to be intimate, thrilling and unforgettable.
