The aria is a soprano piece from Gianni Schicchi, an opera composed by Giacomo Puccini and first performed in 1918. In the opera, the character Lauretta sings this heartfelt piece after a heated argument with her father over her love for Rinuccio. Her father disapproves of the match and threatens to separate her from the boy she adores.
It’s a powerful and emotional song—far beyond what you’d expect from most nine-year-olds. But then again, Victory Brinker isn’t most nine-year-olds.
Ever since she graced the stage during Season 16 of America’s Got Talent, Victory has lived up to her name. Her incredible first audition made history, as the judges and host awarded her a shared Golden Buzzer—something that had never happened before on the show.
Victory returned for the AGT Finals, where one performer would walk away with the Season 16 title, $1 million in prize money, and a headlining spot at the famous Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas.
Now, watch in awe as this young vocal powerhouse delivers a breathtaking rendition of “O Mio Babbino Caro.” Her performance is nothing short of extraordinary. Victory, indeed.
