Up Late At The Great - Maayan Licht, Coloratura Queen
Wednesday 12 August from 9:30pm to 10:30pm
Over 100 million views on TikTok. Hailed as “one of the absolute shooting stars of the international opera scene.”
A Baroque voice for the pop age.
This performance launches Up Late — a brand-new Live at Yours late-night experience. From 9:30pm–10:30pm, Sydney's Great Synagogue transforms into an after-hours musical playground, where world-class artistry meets the thrill of the unexpected.
Vocal sensation Maayan Licht makes his Australian debut with Live at Yours in Coloratura Queen. Imagine Farinelli meets Freddie Mercury — under the soaring arches and starry vaults of Sydney’s Great Synagogue, close enough to feel the electricity.
Joined by the brilliant Neal Peres Da Costa and a hand-picked Baroque ensemble, Maayan detonates a programme of pure theatre: jealousy, seduction, heartbreak, prayer-like stillness and hurricane-force brilliance.
The programme will draw from some of the greatest showpieces of the Baroque era, such as Vivaldi's molten Vedrò con mio diletto and ice-cold Gelido in ogni vena, Broschi's dazzling Son qual nave, Handel's electrifying Da tempeste il legno infranto, Porpora's breathtaking virtuosity, and perhaps even a delicious collision of Handel and Beyoncé. The exact repertoire is still under wraps, but expect Baroque opera at full voltage.
One hour. One extraordinary artist. One unforgettable night.
