A 12-year old Dominican boy, Michael Merlino, saw his dreams come true after a video of his singing went viral. The video, which has now been viewed by 14 million people, was shared in an attempt to draw Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli’s attention to his singing. On Easter Saturday, 4 April 2015, the 12-year old boy sang in a duet with Bocelli at the Altos de Chavon amphitheater in La Romana.
His mother, Miguelina Escana, said: “It’s an indescribable feeling. It’s something that I never dreamed of,” she said. “I knew he had talent, but for him to reach this level at only 12 years old is something that I cannot express in words. It’s an unforgettable emotion.”
