After 'America's Got Talent,' Jackie Evancho Releases Third Studio Album 'Awakening' on Sony Imprint Portrait, Premieres on 'Today Show'

Perhaps one of the most talked about youths in the country, Jackie Evancho has been on a steep rise after her debut with America's Got Talent when she was just a 10-year-old.

Now, she plans to release her third studio album, Awakening, on September 23.

The release coincides with an international tour, bringing her to stages around the world. Her latest disc will be the first album from the Sony Music Masterworks imprint Portrait.

Including a tour and a record label debut, she will also have a new PBS special in December, as well as appearances on Today Show on September 22 and a repeat performance for Queen Latifah on October 2.

Her most recent performance on America's Got Talent on September 10 showcased the young star in an over-the-top tune from Phantom of the Opera. Nevertheless, her voice--as always--delivered a performance that stunned a global audience.

Ms. Evancho will include "The Rains of Castamere" from HBO's Game of Thrones on her forthcoming LP and, taking a massive leap here, U2's heart-breaking ballad "With or Without You."

Other singles include "Take Me There" and "Open Fields of Grace."

Whether you're young or old, a basic opera fan or a long-time subscriber, Jackie Evancho is a name that will continue to surface in the seemingly faltering opera world (if you're talking about symphonies across the globe on the precipice of shutting their doors).

And since it's abundantly clear that Evancho fans can't sit still when they hear about a forthcoming LP, here's something to ease your spirits in the mean time.
