Great reaction! Amira practiced this aria at home for long nine years until she felt confident to sing it on stage. Towards the end, where the soprano sings the word "lontana", the syllable "ta" is projected with the high note B5 (last note of the fifth octave). Amira projects this B5 wonderfully, it's long, it's high, it's beautiful, it's on pitch. And then she immediately makes an extraordinary portamento (sliding) with vibrato (vibration) for the syllable "na" with the note B3, two octaves below., without breathing. An absolute queen.
That’s Amira , always fantastic, never disappoints. There is another release of this performance that includes some on stage interviews with Amira and they show this young lady’s personality. She is beautiful in all respects.
A really emotional experience I imagine that was for Amira... Returning to the stage where it all began for her at nine years of age singing an opera aria.. And returning last year as this now 19 year old young diva singing a most difficult opera aria...to close that evenings show! What can one say.. She just brings us so much pleasure with her performances. I would recommend another one for you, this time from her solo concert celebrating her 18th birthday - her beautiful performance of - Nearer My God to Thee.
HEAVENLY SOUNDS FROM OUR ANGEL AMIRA - HOW BLESSED SHE IS FOR HAVING BEEN GIFTED BY GOD WITH THESE ANGELIC TALENTS - CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING AKNOWLEDGED FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS - I FINISHED MY UNIVERSITY STINT IN 1970, BUT ONLY GOT MARRIED IN 1977 and IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL TIME 😘🤩😍🥰- THANKS AGAIN VeV FOR YOUR ADMIRATION FOR AMIRA - 777 BOER BEN
"Ebben! Ne andrò lontana" is an aria from the opera "La Wally" written by Alfredo Catalani, performed by Maria Callas. The aria is sung by the character Wally who is expressing her desire to leave her home and venture far away. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and isolation. I have commented previously that Callas is Amira's hero.
An exceptionally beautiful gift God has given this world in the beauty of this young woman, in everything that is her. Physically, spiritually and that absolutely incredible voice.
I am grateful to your wonderful wife. I can only imagine the years you have supported your husband and the depth of your love. I hope that you two will enjoy a long and peaceful life together.❤
Paul--thanks for another great Amira reaction. thanks for showing your shirt that you bought for yourself (Sarcastic humor). Congrats on 52 years of marriage. We are about 9 years behing you. Keep up the good work!!!!!
Even Gerrit, Amira's father, was surprised by this high, unusual note that Amira considered interpreting differently from the classical score. Only musical geniuses can afford such licenses.
Hello again! I admire so much talent, it's hard not to cry listening to Amira. Well, we are now two better husbands 😂. Congratulations on your 52 years happily married, that isn't easy nowadays. My best wishes from across the ocean, you know.👏👋🎶
Thank you again! For your own enjoyment you might like the longer version including the introduction, which shows something of her personality. Have you seen her ice rink videos? The best one seems to have been taken down.
Nice shirt. 72 was the year I left school and started work. Amira closed her 18th birthday concert with this aria, it should be a tad longer, she had to reduce the length slightly for the TV programme. Her 18th birthday concert is called On my own, and is available from her Web shop, but being in USA you'll need a dvd player that plays African / European discs. The cd and sound stick just has the music without the song introductions and chat. Her YT video Nearer my God to thee is a direct lift from the concert, and worth listening to. This link shows the full Got Talent segment, showing Amira talking to the judges about her life since her first appearance there. As usual with Amira videos, it is quite delightful. Chris Ott has added relevant subtitles. Hope you like it, - I'm sure you will really! ua-cam.com/video/3QfWTzIL4rU/v-deo.htmlsi=FIjM5HH_3w12lUVn

Indeed. Amira is a queen already. And some day, I hope she will be the queen of the night... (F6) 😊

It's already on my list. #144. Let's see. That will be about a month from now.

She is one outstanding singer!

Wally is planning to leave home due to a thwarted love affair. Usual opera theme!
An exceptionally beautiful gift God has given this world in the beauty of this young woman, in everything that is her. Physically, spiritually and that absolutely incredible voice.
She is always the best to me.. By the way at about 4:21, their are two guys in the audience. The one in glasses is her father.
I am grateful to your wonderful wife. I can only imagine the years you have supported your husband and the depth of your love.
I hope that you two will enjoy a long and peaceful life together.❤
Outstanding awsome
In the operatic genre this is one of the most difficult soprano arias and Amira's performance ranks among the best ever.
That's because she is one of the best ever.
Paul--thanks for another great Amira reaction. thanks for showing your shirt that you bought for yourself (Sarcastic humor). Congrats on 52 years of marriage. We are about 9 years behing you. Keep up the good work!!!!!
Absolutely fantastic magnificent phenomenal incomparable AMIRA THE SPECIAL ANGEL OF GOD❤❤❤❤
The stunned look on your face says it all. Happy 52nd anniversary. I’ll be celebrating number 48 in a few months.
The man who raises his eyebrow at her last high note was her father Gerrit .UK Vet
