In fact, even today Evancho is anything but boastful about her talents. It’s obviously more than Evancho ever envisioned for herself when she saw “The Phantom of the Opera” and decided she had to sing in a classically rooted style.

That started her on a journey that has taken her to a place where she has released her second full-length CD, “Songs from the Silver Screen,” and doing shows in which she performs with locally based orchestras in cities across the United States. After seeing that film at age 7, Evancho decided she wanted to sing. The film version of “The Phantom of the Opera” indeed was a life-changing experience for Evancho.

What feels right, Evancho said, is classical crossover. “Sometimes record producers say they want this (different thing),” Evancho said in a phone interview. Considering Evancho’s age, pop might seem like the more obvious style for her to pursue. That doesn’t mean she hasn’t encountered some people who wanted to steer her toward more of a pop style of singing. So far in her young singing career, 13-year-old Jackie Evancho has made her mark singing the decidedly adult style of classical crossover music. Where: Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, 1037 S.W.
