Amira Willighagen, winner of Holland\u2019s Got Talent<\/span> in 2013, is performing at Die Koelkamers in Paternoster on Wednesday 22 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 19-year-old has showcased her operatic voice and great singing talent for at least 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She won Holland\u2019s Got Talent<\/span> 2013 in The Netherlands. In her audition in the city of Zwolle Amira had already wowed the jury with her interpretation of the aria \u201cO mio babbino caro\u201d from Puccini\u2019s opera Gianni Schicchi<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On YouTube the video of that performance was viewed by the entire world and immediately drew a lot of national and international attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willighagen also attracted the attention of other musicians. After her audition she was contacted by the world-famous violinist and conductor Andr\u00e9 Rieu, who invited her to follow a master class and perform with him and his Johann Strauss Orchestra in his home town of Maastricht, The Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the semi-finals of Holland\u2019s Got Talent<\/span> Willighagen sang \u201cAve Maria\u201d composed by JS Bach and Charles Gounod, which resulted in her reaching the finals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the finals she won more than 50% of the votes of the TV viewers and audience by performing \u201cNessun Dorma\u201d from Puccini\u2019s final opera, Turandot<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests to Die Koelkamers can look forward to a combination of timeless favourites from operas and musicals. The audience can look forward to songs like \u201cO Mio Babbino Caro\u201d, \u201cCasta Diva\u201d, \u201cI Could Have Danced All Night\u201d and \u201cI Dreamed A Dream\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The performance will start at 19:00 and tickets are between R138 and R299.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
