I Don't Do Opera But.......

I watched the clip so many times that it has taken me about a half hour to come back here and post.

Yes, it gave me the chills and brought tears to my eyes. You could tell that they didn't expect much when they told him to go ahead and sing........AND THEN........just look at their expressions change - woke them all up, didn't it?

What a lovely lovely story - and now he is on a world tour.

I wish him the absolute best in the future and I hope ALL of his dreams come true and he can spend the rest of his life doing what he thinks he was born to do.

Doesn't he look like he is just the nicest guy?

Thanks soooo much for sharing the link and info! I've been in paradise for the last several hours while I enjoyed the offerings (ALL of them...including the post win ones). My husband joined me in watching them when he got home from work. It reminded us of just how far away from where we started so long ago we have traveled...brought tears to my eyes and joy to our hearts. A HUGE THANKS!

This reminds me of the story of the cop who found his voice after 9/11, sang for some events, got some voice lessons and I think was in the opera for awhile!
