   The previous World Record holder for the Youngest opera singer was Aria Tesolin at 12.

   She won over the judges of "America's Got Talent" and received a standing ovation from the audience. Jackie Evancho also won a trip to Universal Studios in Florida for receiving the most fan votes.

   Jackie performed "O Mio Babbino Caro," an aria written by Giacomo Puccini for the opera "Gianni Schicchi." The song appears on Jackie's debut album released last November, "Prelude to a Dream," which also features covers of songs by Martina McBride and Josh Groban.

    Pittsburgh area fifth-grader Jackie Evancho is scheduled to perform at Carnegie Hall in NYC on Dec 2 , and will be the youngest female vocal soloist ever to have performed at Carnegie Hall .

   The fifth-grader in the Pine-Richland school district near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, lives with her parents, two brothers, Jackie and Zachary, and a younger sister, Rachel.

   In January, 2008, Jackie’s mom bought the movie "Phantom of the Opera" DVD. Jackie would spontaneously sing the songs from the movie around the house constantly.

   Her mother was amazed at the quality of Jackie’s singing voice and asked her if she wanted to participate in a regional talent competition. She was enthusiastic about giving it a try.

    Jackie Evancho came into the national spotlight when she wowed the America's Got Talent judges after being selected as one of twelve YouTube acts to get a chance on the live stage. Her amazingly beautiful rendition of O Mio Babbino Caro by Giacomo Puccini wowed the crowd as well, and vaulted her into the America's Got Talent semi-finals.

    According to USA Today, the Pittsburgh native is already being called the next Susan Boyle , the surprise superstar of Britain's Got Talent in 2009.
