    Great reaction! At this point, the only training she had was a few masterclasses with conductor Andre Rieu. Amira is a world-class super soprano and learned classical singing just by watching great sopranos singing in UA-cam videos. Amira is therefore pure talent. In this performance all notes were hit with 100% accuracy. Her vibrato is homogeneous and flawless. Her rhythm is precise. And she even used advanced techniques of transition and note connection. The various copies of this video on UA-cam and Facebook together have about one billion views, which, together with her other performances, makes Amira the most watched and popular classical singer on social networks.

    In 2013 8-year-old Amira auditioned for 'Holland's GotTalent' with the aria you just heard. She blew everyone out of the water, the jury members included. Asked by one of the jury members who taught her to sing opera she got confused. It appeared she was totally self-taught. She came to like opera songs by listening to them on UA-cam and decided to try it for herself.
    Oh yeah, of course she won the competition in the end.
    You certainly will find many videos of her at various ages on UA-cam. A highly reacted to video is her performing 'Amazing Grace' at age 12.

    Amira learned this aria listening
    to UA-cam videos.
    Believe it or not, at the time
    she won Holland's Got Talent,
    but has never had
    singing lessons.✨
    André Rieu heard this
    "unbelievable" kid and brought her to perform here....✨
    She touches people's soul
    with the affection of her voice.
    absolutely Wonderful ❤️ 🙏
    André Rieu is a Dutch violinist and orchestra leader who is known for his performances of popular classical works by Johann Strauss, among others.

    There was no real training prior to this! Amira learned to sing by watching UA-cam videos! She entered and WON Holland's got Talent just a few months prior to this with no formal training at all! For this performance Andre Rieu worked with her a bit to improve her phrasing and Italian. Since then she has had several people help to hone her talents... By all accounts this girl (now young woman) is highly intelligent and very quick to learn...
    With respect to her lungs and breathing Amira had a huge advantage over most girls of her size and age in that she was (and is) a champion distance runner and that has given her the ability to control her breathing while singing in a way usually not possible until one is much older!
    This young woman is on a trajectory that has already taken her into the exalted heights of being already among arguably the greatest opera singers of all time however more time will tell!
    Apart from her singing Amira has a story well worth researching.... Amira does not merely have a gift - she is the GIFT!

    Maastricht it is, most people want to see Amsterdam and windmeals when they come to the Netherlands, but the most beautiful part of the Netherlands is in the south, there where Maastricht also is. This weekend Andre Rieu will start again with his concerts at the Vrijthof, btw which he does every year. Just beautiful.

    Sue and Wolf Man: Welcome to the world of Amira. She is now 19 and sings worldwide in around 9 languages, but is fluent in Dutch, English, and Afrikaans. Her repertoire covers opera, classic crossover, hymns, musicals, etc. Would recommend Nessun Dorma (CIG 2017), Nella Fantasia (November 2016), The Lord's Prayer, Little Drummer Boy (for fun!), Caruso (music shop version). I'm sure her many fans will tell you much more. Best wishes, JOE.

    Andre Rieu created the orchestra, he holds this outdoor concert in his hometown of Maastricht every year.
    Amira was 10. 6 months earlier, Andre had seen her on Hollands got talent, which she won. Prior to that TV show she was self taught. Sony gave her some coaching while she was making her first cd.
    This isn't the only jaw dropper, the three songs she sang for HGT are pretty amazing. Her Ave Maria Gomez at age 11 is stunning. All of her performance 's at the south African show Classic's is Groot are worth watching. The live in concert Nella Fantasia is sublime.
    She sings a lot in Italian, because she is attracted to opera, but there are songs in English too. Amazing Grace. Sound of Music. Your Love.
    Her most recent jaw dropper was Gesu Bambino, which she put out earlier this year.
    She has only just finished school, and will be starting college next year to study music therapy. She is a humanitarian at heart, and wants to use her talents for the benefit of others rather than for wealth and fame.

    Amira was a long distance runner at an early age and won many races in her own age group. I believe that the running was a large reason why her lungs were so strong when performing opera! In 2019 she was invited to the Olympic trials for track and field but the games were cancelled due to Covid. She has become a favorite artist among millions of fans. When she started touring internationally at the age of 10, she pledged half of her income to the development of playgrounds for underfunded black schools in South Africa. Through her efforts to date, 16 schools have been able to have playground equipment in their schools for the children to use. Amira has a strong belief in God and is an angel in disguise, and a gift of love from God!

I love the passion, enthusiasm and fun they have presenting the music. Currently the stage setup you saw is being installed again on the Vrijthof square in Maastricht for the open air concerts. I hope one day I will be able see them there....

    I think it was only a matter of time before you would end up reacting to this phenomenal child prodigy, one that I'm sure all of her fellow-countrymen are very proud of. The conductor is André Rieu and he's world famous for his arrangements (a lot of Johan Strauss), and for the talent he puts in the spotlight with his shows. He hails from Maastricht and that just happens to be the city where I was born. In 1997 I was invited to a photoshoot for a friend of mine that we did on Andre's private boat and surrounding area. He plays a 1667 Stradivarius violin (extremely rare), lives in a castle (at least I think he still does) with his wife Marjorie, and is a very amicable guy. Loved your reaction!

    When Amira won the Holland Got Talent contest singing this same song at age 9, she never had any singing lessons. She taught herself how to sing on UA-cam. When she was about 10-1/2 years old during this massive performance, I think the only singing advice she received was by conductor Andre Rieu during rehearsals for this performance. By age 12, she was a world renowned Oprah Star giving performances around the world. Try her concert performance of the very complex Flower Duet at age 13 with oprah great Corlea Botha -- it is crazy. ua-cam.com/video/Kk1l84UW1pI/v-deo.html Also, her original performance on Holland Got Talent age 9 singing O Mio Babino Caro ua-cam.com/video/qDqTBlKU4CE/v-deo.html She also sang Ave Maria and Nessun Dorma The at age 13 she sang "Amazing Grace" ua-cam.com/video/7PJWRKkMpHM/v-deo.html and crazy good performance of "The Sound of Music" ua-cam.com/video/RcojA7k7kGA/v-deo.html Also look at her singing "O Solo Mia."

    Hi folks
    This aria is of course from Gianni Schicci.
    Gianni Schicci is one of a trio of one-act operas that are grouped under the name "Il Trittico"
    The best version in my CD collection is by the Munich Radio Orchestra under Giuseppe Patane and the SD oprano on that recording is the great Helen Donath.
    If you want to hear how this should be sung,ntry that recording...

    you have stumbled into a decade old video of the extraordinary Amira. Today she is 18 yo lyric soprano who is among the finest vocal artists currently performing. She has many performances on line and she is the most watched soprano with more than one billion views. Many of her performances are masterpieces. At the age of 18 she has already been compared favorably with Callas, Tebaldi, and Sutherland. Her range is broad and quite high and in a number of performances she effortlessly hits Eb6. One of her more recent operatic performances is 'La Vergine degli Angeli'. ua-cam.com/video/NievOBH8Ab4/v-deo.html
