Unbelievable! Most opera singers train for many years to be able to sing a piece like this cleanly and in tune. To be able to sing like that at 13, after just a few years of training, is really special.

[@davidd5448]

Unfortunately his treble voice will likely disappear at puberty which can't be far away. Let's hope he continues to develop his voice when it changes.

[@xenophile84]

@@davidd5448 100%, his voice will change, but I bet he'll continue to be a great singer when it does. He'll just have to apply that excellent technique to a new voice.
