In the famous argument over whether talent is formed by nature or nurture, this video of a young opera singer clearly favors nature.

In 2011, Maria Cristina Craciun, the late tenor Luciano Pavarotti’s granddaughter, performed “Caruso.”

It’s clear where she gets her skill from the moment she opens her mouth—those have to be Pavarotti family voice chords!

What’s more amazing is hearing that voice from someone as young as 11 years old.

This song will move you even if you don’t understand Italian. The intensity of Maria Cristina’s voice and her passion are enough to make you cry.

What a voice! Pavarotti must be very proud looking down on her from heaven.
