Freitag aus Licht (Friday from Light), the main body of which is also titled Freitag-Versuchung (Friday Temptation), is the fifth of seven operas that comprise Licht (Light), by Karlheinz Stockhausen. It was the last of the operas to receive a staged production with the composer's involvement.

Freitag was commissioned by Udo Zimmermann of the Leipzig Opera, which gave the staged premiere on September 12, 1996. Three subsequent performances were given on September 13, 14, and 15. The musical direction and sound projection was done by the composer. The staging was done by Uwe Wand. Stage, costume, object and lighting designs were from Johannes Conen. Johannes Bönig did the choreography. In addition to the soloists, the choir of the Leipzig Opera, the children's choirs of the Leipzig Opera and Middle German Radio, and the children's orchestra of the Johann Sebastian Bach music school of Leipzig performed in the original production.

The production was filmed for a documentary by WDR. A 4-disc recording of the opera is available from the Stockhausen Verlag (CD 50).
