Minghao Liu is an emerging leggiero tenor praised for his easy and powerful high notes and well-polished bel canto musicality. Born in Qingdao, he is fluent in English, Russian and Chinese.

In 2009, he went to Ukraine to study at the S.S. Prokofiev Music Conservatory in Donetsk, earning Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in opera. In 2014, he fled Ukraine because of the escalating war crisis, and continued his studies at the University of Alberta, Canada.

After finishing his studies, he received a scholarship from the Franz Schubert Institute in Baden, Austria, where he received vocal and German diction training from Elly Ameling, Robert Holl, Julius Drake and Helmut Deutsch.

In 2019, he appeared in his first opera, singing Tamino in Mozart’s opera Die Zauberflöte; at the Miami Music Festival, for which he received a glowing review in the South Florida Classical Music Review: "(Minghao) Liu produced tones with an easy lyricism, bringing gleaming notes to the upper register in his Act I aria." During the festival he performed a closing night concert with director Kevin Kenner. In 2020, he won the Pesaro International Music Competition named after Rossini and was invited by MMF to perform during their first cruise tour show to entertain their board members.

Minghao was invited to cover Almaviva in Il barbiere di Siviglia; for the 2021 Rossini Opera Festival, but it was canceled because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, he returned to Miami to study in the Frost School of Music, where he participated in four programs, all under full scholarship. Early 2022, he participated Sherrill Milnes voice experience program in Tampa and Savannah. He received training and guidance from Masters of the festival that allowed him to achieve his profound excellencies. In late 2022, he received a contract to sing Almaviva at Gulfshore Opera in 2023. He won Tampa opera competition that provided him the prize and a contract of singing the leading role Don Ottavio in Opera Tampa 2024 season Don Giovanni. In June 2023, he received the contract to cover the role Lindoro in St Petersburg Opera L’italiana in Algeri.
