Live at Yours makes its long awaited Adelaide debut at the stunning Town Hall with superstar sopranista Maayan Licht.
Imagine Farinelli meets Freddie Mercury. 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.
The programme is a greatest-hits thrill ride through Baroque opera's most intoxicating scenes — from Porpora's Ifigenia in Aulide ("Nel già bramoso petto" / "Allontanata agnella") to Handel at his most dramatic ("Un pensiero nemico di pace" from Il trionfo del tempo e del disinganno, and the famous "Da tempeste il legno infranto" from Giulio Cesare). Vivaldi brings the fire and elegance in equal measure — "Zeffiretti che sussurrate" (Ercole sul Termodonte), the deliciously venomous "Gelosia, tu già rendi l'alma mia" (Ottone in Villa), and the heart-melting "Vedrò con mio diletto" (Il Giustino). And then Handel again, darker and more dangerous: "Verso già l'alma col sangue" from Aci, Galatea e Polifemo.
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.
