The 10-year-old singer, who finished in second place on last year's America's Got Talent, will release Dream With Me in the UK on June 6 through Simon Cowell's Syco label.
The classical LP, helmed by veteran producer David Foster, has already sold over 1.5 million copies in the US. It includes opera classics 'Nessun Dorma' and 'O Mio Babbino Caro', as well as duets with Susan Boyle and Barbra Streisand.
Cowell revealed that he was "excited" about Evancho's crossover to the UK, adding: "I have to congratulate the team (and the judges!) on America's Got Talent and I am thrilled that Jackie is making records for us. I think she is a total star."
Discussing the record, Evancho explained: "I never really had a pop voice, but even if I had a pop voice, I would have gone with classical because it's different from what many other children do, because with classical you're able to show emotion in it."
