Ten-Month-Old Opera Singer

While his peers concentrate on teething and learning to walk, 10-month-old Ethan Pourtorkan has other things to do with his time; like working to perfect his technique as an opera singer (see attached picture). Although his career is just getting started, his fans agree that he may well be the next Caruso.

While Pourtorkan's talent is evident, many say his appeal is heightened by his contagious joi d'vivre. Many have said that while they enjoy listening to him sing, watching him perform is just as uplifting.

Although the young Oklahoman comes from a musically talented family, few expected him to be interested in opera. While both his parents are professional musicians, his mother has laid aside her musical endeavors for the present, choosing to focus primarily on her job as manager for her talented son.

Some of Pourtorkan's fans are amazed at his wide repertoire. Others are more interested in deciding which language he prefers in his performances. Most of his fans speak only English, and most agree that is not his language of choice.

While said to be a bit eccentric, many opera singers have been known for their eccentricity. He chooses to do most of his practicing in the early morning hours, while those closest to him would prefer he wait till the rest of his household is awake. He has also been known to burst into song at rather inappropriate times. But so far no one has objected, as most would prefer his singing to some of the sounds it interrupts.

Even those who are not opera aficionados say this young performer is a joy to behold as he projects his glorious voice to the heavens. Be watching for Ethan Pourtorkan as his career takes off. We expect to hear more from him in the near future.
