Watch: Leona Lewis Stuns With New Live Performance Of Opera Classic, ‘Ave Maria’

Leona Lewis went on to showcase her operatic skills, to celebrate the spirit of Christmas in a more traditional manner.

The former ‘X Factor UK’ alum and Billboard chart-topper, delivered a stripped-down and brave cover of this Franz Schubert composed prayer, which has previously been sung by Opera titans like Luciano Pavarotti and Barbara Bonney.

Although a bit shaky on some parts, Leona still delivered the goods – showcasing why she became a sensation back in the day, in the first place. Filmed by her husband Dennis Jauch at her Los Angeles home, the simplistic and holiday-inspired visual is as stunning as her voice.



As the ‘Bleeding Love’ singer gears for her return to mainstream music, with the announcement of a tour in 2021 and speculations of some new music, get an early taste of her powerful and sweeping vocals, here:

 

Sing it, Leona!
