    Sadly, I missed the PBS telecast(s) up to today. It is Monday June 20th. The advertising says “throughout the month of June”. Okay, then please tell me when it will be on again between today and the 30th. Please.

      John: Did you get a reply? Do you know when it will be replayed? I missed it too and everyone is talking about it. Thanks.

      • John says:

        No, I’m sorry, I have not seen a reply either here or on my email. My guess is that it will not be seen again until perhaps the fall funding drive when it may be offered with other Jackie goodies according to pledge amounts.

      Dear John,

      PBS is a distribution system for a connected network of local stations. In order to help you and other viewers find programming that you want to watch, we need to know where you live and your local station. That way we can check to see if it’s airing in your local market. In the future, when you find a Great Performances program that interests you, it’s always a good idea to check your local station’s website in addition to our “national” site here at pbs.org to see when your station will air the program.

      Thanks,
      GP Team

        I’m in Tampa, Fl and did not know about this telecast until long after it was over. Does my station, WEDU, have it in their schedule? Their website is pretty but, as far as I’m concerned, a DISASTER to navigate. There does not seem to be any kind of effective search capability. I’ve been giving them money for years because I believe in what they do. Now, I’d just like to know if they are showing that concert again.

        Thank you.

          It is now dec 20th, 2012 and I’m rretty sure it was fairly recently reshown on Cannel 3 or 16 on tampa’s PBS because my friend taped it.
          Hope you caught it, why not call or email them?

        Well I hope you do have some influence! When I asked KTOO or KUAC for Alaska they replied that they don’t do telethons so they wouldn’t be showing it! Since these stations are all about fund raising I’m puzzled as to why. As I read posts from all over the country that say they are doing very well with her programs I’m curious as to the wisdom of this decision. This in my opinion is one of the best programs I have ever seen! Why is Alaska being denied this opportunity to witness a prodigy in the making? I would expect her to be one of the biggest names in future entertainment. What a beautiful example for our young artists to see. It literally echos Jackie’s sentiments “Always follow your dreams!” All of this from a precocious eleven year old! Thanks for your help in making one of my dreams come true which is to give Alaskans the opportunity to witness the genius of Jackie Evancho!

    When can I see Jackie Evancho Great Performance telecast, I missed it just heard the last song, and would like to see the whole program?

    • david ernst says:

      Dear Sonia,

      It doesn’t appear that our Jackie Evancho: Dream With Me program is airing anymore on your local station. We’ll keep you updated if there are any plans to release the DVD commercially.

      Thanks,
      GP Team

        I just realized that while we posted this information on our Facebook page, we did not update it here. The Great Performances program, Jackie Evancho Dream With Me In Concert DVD will be released in the U.S. on September 13th, 2011.

    I Do not know what else can be said Jackie. I do not know if you will ever see all the fantastic comments said to you and /or about you. All I can add is that as a 57 year old man and a lover of great music, not only do you inspire me to practice my violin but you bring me to tears of joy nearly every song I hear I can’t get enough.
    When I stop listening to you sing it seems like a light has gone out in my world like something is missing.
    Keep up your practice, not that you need it .
    You “GO” GIRL!!!! I only hope I can catch your performances now and always :)
    Cheers

    The King of opera, Pavarotti sings the Man Only Song, Nessun Dorma like no human, but Jackie, Is Nessun Dorma! Pavarotti gives me goosebumps, but Jackie, bumps and joyful tears. Jackie is the Princess that Luciano is singing to. Jackie elevates ND to the Heavens where I’m sure Puccini is smiling sweetly.

    • dave bradford says:

      Right on, this prodigy has an amazing talent, her singing leaves me spell bound. She is like the living princess of the songs she is singing!

  7. Jeff says:

    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. robert says:

  9. Ricky Murph says:

    Jackie Evancho is a great and amazing singer. I love to watching Jackie perforum. Jackie put her heart and great emotion into her songs. I will be glad when PBS put Jackie’s Great Performance DVD on sale.

  10. Kathryn Green says:

    I think for just alittel girl she can injoy so much singing even it just it makes me happy to see how alittel girl is brought up in a good home she must have good parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. doug M says:

    Listening to Jackie I can not find words that can discribe how the sound coming from this 11 old girl makes me feel. We use the word ’speechless’ too easily. Jackie makes me truly speechless. I have yet to listen to her without sheading a tear. She is like a glimps of Heaven.

  12. Quin says:

    She is a very talented singer, there is no doubt about that, but when doing some research about here i came across this post “http://www.nicolewarner.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=124:jackie-evancho-way-too-young&catid=41:nicoles-blog&Itemid=58 ‘ which of lead me to this site and i have to agree with the link here, go read it. I don’t want to be a bad seed or anything but she really needs to slow down or makes sure someone is looking out for her before she ruins her voice before she even gets started.

      Many child prodigies start young such as
      Beverly Sills (memorized 21 arias @age7), Julie Andrews
      11, Deanna Durbin 13 and Maria Callas 13.

      All were coached by Professional Opera singers and
      Jackie Evancho vocal coach is Yvie Burnett
      (She then trained as an operatic mezzosoprano, and sung professionally with the Welsh National Opera)

      If Ms. Nicole Warner (Opera Singer)
      WANTS TO GET ATTENTION BY BASHING
      JACKIE EVANCHO, IT MAKES YOU LOOK
      LIKE A PETTY JEALOUS OPERA SINGER!

    • Sue says:

      Doing some research ??? Why not just enjoy ?

  13. cynthia fesler says:

    You can look up the PBS stations that have aired and /or fill out the e-mail form and purchase from that PBS station. They list the donation prices. It is well worth it!

  14. Doreen Langmead says:

    I’m always watching and supporting PBS. Jackie Evancho, bless her beautiful heart, is absolutely glorious.

  15. G Camp says:

    Jakie and her voice are being looked after very closely, by several professional people, doctors and vioce professionals. You can bet her voice is insured – and the insurance company that does that – is very involved and requires constant updates and reports.

    Jackie is just getting starting in her career and is destined to be a cheished singer. As she grows, her vioce will change to some degree…She will be able to hold notes for longer and hit notes that she can already, but is not allowed to use, to further protect her fantastic voice.

    She will be fine. Alot of goodd people are watching our for her – as well as her loving parents and famiy. Just sit back and enjoy her music, her beauty, her gift. That little girl will be giving us all beautiful music for our souls for a very long time. She has only just begun!

    she sings like an angel….awesome, such of pleasure to listen to her beautiful voice

  17. Romeo Marafiote says:

    I am an 80 year old opera lover and have listened to many sopranos over the years….I have heard many opera singers over the years that have brought tears to my eyes and this young women has done exactly that.

  18. jackie says:

    Reply to the athiest, Thor: Where there are tears, there is a heart! Jackie Evancho is truly a gift from God. He works in mysterious ways!

  19. Kum Westbrooks says:

    It’s on TV here in Austria all the time. Why it this a russian thing?

  20. Rana Anway says:

    Would anyone who has been a part of the program from the beginning mind sending me copies of the prior letters? I am signed up now but unfortunately did not hear of this until now. Many, many thanks in advance.

  21. robert janke says:

    I have enjoyed, as have millions, both of her concerts. As I look over the schedule for 2013 there doesn’t seem to be any scheduled for 2013. That is a real shame, it would be very interesting to see how she has grown both artistically as well in stature if we could have a 3rd concert. If anyone knows how to put some pressure on the correct place I would love to have that information and I suspect a couple million more would also like that..

    I do have an observation about those who seemed focused on trying to destroy this young girl by doubting her ability, her staying power, how she holds her hands, her parents, etc. From my point of view these people are doing what around here we would call bullying. What we have is essentially some adults trying to destroy a 12 year old girl. She may be protected somewhat by her parents but not her friends when they web surf and come across this trash and aren’t able to handle it. They are likely to think less of Jacki. You people should be ashamed of yourselves even thought you would profess to be just “helping” her. Just shut up and enjoy. My mother once told me to quit bitching if I didn’t like a singer and I should just change stations. It does work.
