My Dream – Mio Visione is the debut studio album by Australian tenor, Mark Vincent. The album was released through Sony Music Australia on 2 July 2009 and peaked at number 2 on the ARIA Charts. The album was certified platinum.

Background and release

Mark Vincent auditioned for and won Australia's Got Talent in April 2009 after singing "Nessun Dorma". He was signed to Sony Music Australia following the win. Vincent’s talent was originally noticed by his late grandfather. As a boy, he used to sing along to opera albums, which then progressed to singing in his family’s Italian restaurant. Formal singing lessons soon followed, and he was seen performing at markets and charity balls. This album has been created under the expertise of music maestro Chong Lim, who has previously worked with John Farnham and Kylie Minogue.[1]

Reviews

Adam Greenberg of AllMusic gave the album 3 out of 5 saying; "Fresh off a win in 'Australia's Got Talent', 15-year-old Mark Vincent took his operatic skills to a full album. Beyond the gimmick of a young virtuoso, though, the surprising part here is that Vincent has serious vocal abilities. The opening "Nessun Dorma" is a somewhat clichéd choice for opera to deliver to a mass audience, but he performs it well. As he moves through the album, the mix becomes a little more hit or miss. Vincent specializes in straightforward, stereotypical operatic forms—long notes, grandiose deliveries. In some cases the delivery of simpler English lyrics proves a downfall." adding "the album as a whole shows some incredible promise."[2]
