Who is Aria Tesolin?

Aria Tesolin is a Canadian mezzo-soprano singer.

As a child singer, Tesolin began singing opera arias in concert with Canada's 3 Tenors at the age of eight, singing the "Habanera" from Bizet's opera Carmen, the brindisi "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" from Verdis's opera La traviata, "Belle nuit" from Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann, Largo al factotum, the famous baritone aria from Rossini's The Barber of Seville and "O mio babbino caro" from Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, and "Nessun dorma" from Puccini's Turandot. Aria's first live concert performance on August 3, 2002, was featured on Citytv News. Many members of the astonished audience were seen on camera with mouths visibly agape with surprise. At the age of 12, Tesolin recorded and released her debut opera album Baby Soprano, featuring 14 popular opera arias. Nine tracks from Baby Soprano, "Habanera", "Libiamo", "Vedrai Carino", "Un bel di", "Mattinata", "Largo al factotum", "Ebben? Ne andrò lontana", "Una furtiva lagrima", and "Belle nuit", have appeared on iTunes opera charts in 13 countries, Italy, Luxembourg, France, Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Mexico, Japan, Canada, Greece, Australia, Belgium and Norway.
