From Sylvester Q & A on Dress Rehearsal...  ---   Jackie EvanchoJackie Evancho’s first performance on NBC’s variety show America’s Got Talent left audiences and judges astonished that such a perfect, beautiful, soprano voice could come from a 10-year-old girl. During her next appearance in the competition, judges asked her to improvise a tune, which she performed flawlessly. It wasn’t just her musical gift and her age that floored the America’s Got Talent audience; it was her presence, poise and charm that truly made them take notice. One of the show’s judges, Piers Morgan, told Evancho, “You’ve got the whole package.” The young soprano from Pittsburgh with the stunning voice won runner-up and launched her soon-to-be legendary career, signing with Columbia Records shortly thereafter. “She is a prodigy; they break the rules by definition,” wrote music critic Andrew Duckenbrod in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after seeing the then 11-year-old perform to a sold-out crowd in her hometown in October 2011. “[Her] voice mesmerizes. She has become one of the performers who has been defining the ‘crossover classic’ category of singers – those who are equally comfortable with Puccini or pop.” In a little over two years, her unique, gorgeous, soprano voice has garnered millions of fans, and her recordings have dominated the music and DVD charts. Now 14, Evancho has won the support of legendary music producer David Foster and filmmaker Robert Redford, among others. Billboard Magazine named Evancho on its list of music movers-and-shakers under the age of 21 in 2011, and again in 2012, because the soprano’s “spellbinding, operatic vocals possess a power and poignancy that often moves listeners multiple times her age to tears.” Her debut EP, O Holy Night, was released in November 2010. It became the year's No. 1 best-selling debut recording, with sales exceeding 1 million copies, and earned her a platinum certification. In June 2011, Evancho released her first studio album, Dream With Me. A mix of operatic arias, show tunes, and pop standards, the album debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart at No. 2 and was certified gold after only four weeks of release. Heavenly Christmas was released in November 2011 and became one of the top-selling holiday albums of the year.
