Listen to Matamata s Jazz Vidamo, 12, who performed with Sol3 Mio in Auckland. Jazz’s love for music began at the tender age of two, but her love for opera came years later. The Vidamos were gathered watching
America’s Got Talent when 13-year-old Laura Bretan walked on stage and sung opera. “I said to mum, I want to do that too. “The style of singing, it’s captivating and grabs your attention right away. That’s what drew me to opera. “Learning how to sustain my breath and notes, and coping with everything that’s been thrown at me is the most challenging.”
