Justin Gigliello, a volunteer firefighter from Connecticut, wasn’t expecting to become the star of the show when he took his family for a vacation at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
As a boy, Justin visited Disney World with his parents. He was thrilled to share the experience with his daughter. One of his favorite places wasn’t a ride, but the lobby of the Grand Floridian hotel. Justin had many fond memories of listening to the live music played in the beautiful lobby.
His 6-year-old daughter, Lyla, was equally excited to share the experience with her father. While visiting the lobby, Lyla and Justin listened to a pianist playing for the hotel guests. Justin and Lyla danced together, but most of the other guests didn’t seem to be paying much attention to the music.
During a break between songs, Lyla approached the pianist and asked if he could play something that her father could sing to. “He loves to sing,” she said.
“What song?” the pianist asked, according to People. “Ave Maria,” she immediately replied.
The pianist had no idea that Justin had been singing since the age of 15 and had a powerful operatic voice.
