FROM OPERATIC DIVA TO CHILD PRODIGY?

Reincarnation is believed to occur when the soul or spirit, after the death of the body, comes back to life in a new form. However, once born sometime things from a person’s previous life are forgotten.  (Or not…)

child prodigy is someone who, at an early age, masters one or more skills far beyond their level of maturity. One criterion for classifying prodigies is: a prodigy is a child, typically younger than 18 years old, who is performing at the level of a highly trained adult in a very demanding field of endeavor.


Here is a possible example, in the form of an operatic diva:

Maria Callas (December 2, 1923 – September 16, 1977) was an American-born Greek soprano and one of the most renowned opera singers of the 20th century. was an American-born Greek soprano and one of the most renowned opera singers of the 20th century. She combined an impressive bel canto technique, a wide-ranging voice and great dramatic gifts. An extremely versatile singer, her repertoire ranged from classical opera seria to the bel canto operas of Donizetti, Bellini and Rossini; further, to the works of Verdi and Puccini; and, in her early career, to the music dramas of Wagner. Her remarkable musical and dramatic talents led to her being hailed as La Divina. (Wikipedia)

Jacqueline Marie “Jackie” Evancho (born April 9, 2000) is also an American singer.  Evancho started singing when she first watched the musical The Phantom of the Opera on DVD. Her mother heard her singing songs from the musical and allowed her to enter the 2008 Kean Idol, a local talent contest. She sang “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again”, finishing, on the cusp of her 8th birthday, as first runner-up; the winner was 20 years old. Eventually Evancho participated in other talent contests and started a YouTube channel. She began taking vocal lessons for a short period of time when she was 8, in June 2008, after her success in the 2008 Kean Idol contest. (Wikipedia)
