Max Lichtegg lost his parents early on and grew up with an uncle in Vienna, where he attended school and performed as a boy soprano. He studied history at the University of Vienna and singing at Vienna’s New Conservatory in Vienna and in Bern. He began his stage career in 1936 at the Stadttheater Bern. Lichtegg was soon regarded by audiences as an operetta star, so he had to fight to be cast in opera roles. From 1940, he was a member of the ensemble of the Stadttheater Zürich. Lichtegg appeared at the Vienna State Opera and in 1948 at the San Francisco Opera. He sang at the State Operas of Munich and Stuttgart, at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées Paris, at the Grand Théâtre de Genève, in Los Angeles, Strasbourg and Wiesbaden, and at the Monte Carlo Opera.
Lichtegg was naturalized in Zurich in 1949. He was married twice, first to Olga Kaufmann, then to Marietta Winterhalder. His grave is in the Manegg cemetery.
