"Australian soprano Livia Brash has a richly upholstered and luxuriantly coloured lirico-dramatico soprano and she exhibited range, strength and nuance...

Brash's was an impressive performance of considerable commitment and accomplishment."

In 2020, Livia joined the artists of Düsseldorf Lyric Opera, was a participant in a masterclass conducted by the legendary Grace Bumbry, and in July was to attend The Art of Lied in Munich, donated by the Bel Canto Summer Program and the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust, courtesy of the Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge Foundation (cancelled due to Covid_19.). 

In 2019, Ms. Brash was one of twelve singers internationally to attend the prestigious Georg Solti Accademia in Italy, where she was under the tutelage of mentors such as Maestro Richard Bonynge AC CBE and Barbara Frittoli. She performed the title role of Bellini's Beatrice di Tenda as part of the London Bel Canto Festival with the London City Philharmonic Orchestra and appeared in recital at the National Liberal Club in London.

​

In the 2018 season Ms. Brash made four role debuts, touring Australia as Rosina (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), then appearing as a guest artist in the title roles Alcina and Tosca, and Mimi (La Bohème), where she was described by critics as "a star in the making". The same year, she also made solo appearances with the Canberra Symphony's Opera Gala, Lake Macquarie Philharmonic's Elgar Concert, Willoughby Symphony's Opera Gala and Central Coast Philharmonic orchestra's Nelson Mass. Livia is the winner of the Richard Bonynge Award in the 2018 Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge Bel Canto Competition.

Livia is an Pacific Opera Young Artist alumna and has performed as soloist in venues such as the Sydney Opera House, The Chatswood Concourse, Llewellyn Hall in Canberra and Sydney Town Hall.
