A 10-year-old girl named Victory Brinker has been confirmed to be the world’s youngest opera singer. Guinness World Records confirmed the record on Thursday, saying Victory actually achieved the feat as a 7-year-old.
According to Guinness World Records, the child protégé showed off her vocals in 2019 when she sang in eight performances at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre’s Lights and Legends show. Victory, who participated in season 16 of America’s Got Talent, can also sing in seven different languages.

Christine and Eric Brinker adopted Victory as a baby and raised her in Latrobe, Pennsylvania with ten other children.
“I was an early talker and started singing at age two. Between age two and three, I was memorizing entire CDs with good pitch. I was always singing.” Victory said according to Guinness.
The rising star meets with her singing coach a couple times a week, learning new pieces and languages.
“I love the challenge of the difficult arrangements, the technique required to sing, all the runs, and the different languages all the arias are written in,” she said.
Victory has appeared in several other popular shows, including NBC’s Little Big Shots, Dr. Phil and Wonderama. She has also performed the anthem at NBA, NFL and MLB games.
The young star released her first album, The Wonder of Christmas, last year.
