- Amira Willighagen performs Nella Fantasia during an 'Afrikaans is Groot' concert staged in South Africa in November 2016.
In an arrangement written especially for Amira, the performance begins with the majestic Ennio Morricone composition 'River' from the soundtrack to the movie 'The Mission'. This is then followed by Amira's rendition of Nella Fantasia which is based on the haunting melody known as 'Gabriel's Oboe' written by the same composer for the same movie.
Born 27 March 2004, Amira was 12 years old at the time of this performance.
♫
Following her highly successful performances at the 'Classics is Groot' concerts held earlier in the year, Amira was invited back to the country to perform as a guest artiste at the eleven 'Afrikaans is Groot' concerts held during November 2016.
During the show, Amira sang a brief duet with Corlea Botha, together with other artists, during a rendition of a sacred piece known as 'Die Onse Vader' (The Lord's Prayer) and she also joined the whole group in the Finalé. Nella Fantasia was the only solo number performed.
The above performances are included in the DVD of the full show entitled 'Afrikaans is Groot 2016 - Dié Konsert'.
Copies of the DVD may be purchased from any 'Musica' store in South Africa or online from raru.co.za/music/5432721
International viewers may purchase the DVD online from the webshop of Amira's charitable foundation, Stichting Gelukskinders: www.gelukskinders.org/en/store/
Purchasers are cautioned that the DVD is produced for the South African market (Region 2) and that most of the numbers on the DVD are popular and traditional Afrikaans compositions.
Region 2 includes the following countries: Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Egypt and South Africa although the DVD can also be played in other countries using a personal computer, a Blu-Ray player or a DVD player that is 'multi-region'.
Alternatively, the DVD may be copied onto the hard drive of a computer and, using a DVD writer, may be transferred to a blank DVD disc which will then be playable on all DVD players.

OMG her voice is just astoundingly beautiful. I'm done, there is just nothing you can say, no words that can describe the sound of that angels voice. Is it real?
Why has this been kept hidden away for a year. No wonder Coleske signed her to a contract. The audience was in tears listening to this gorgeous young super star. Just breathtaking.
Maravilhosa!
Yes. And more and more people are becoming aware of this extremely talented lady.
Note that this superb performance was from a year ago. Amira's performances of 'Nessun Dorma' and 'The Flower Duet' on the CIG 2017 DVD are also 'astoundingly beautiful' with a voice that has continued to mature for one more year. This DVD is well worth purchasing from Gelukskinders.
Grant Trumbo Yes, I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my copy. I can't wait to hear the flower duet. New challenge for Amira and from what I have heard it sounds incredible. Any news on Amiras new albums release date.
It is indeed incredible.
YOU SEE GROWN MEN CRYING, ITS THE SHEER BEAUTY AND THE PITCH OF HER VOICE
Jacob Israel Yes. Amira's performances are astoundingly beautiful and intensely riveting. It evoke deep emotions in whoever watches it live and even in video clips.
you are correct. i am a great fan of amira.i like her sound its clear its rich in tones and high high notes are almost the highest i have heard, she going to be the world best soon
Maravilloso... podría cantar con plácido domingo.
i don't understand how you can turn your thumb down, i come from Vienna in Austria, i think she has a gifted voice it is a gift from heaven and we are allowed to hear this voice, i wish to hear this voice many more times and wish God's blessings all the best Amira Willighagen
Io ritengo che AMIRA sia una delle migliori cantanti della storia
I just discovered this angel. I am 81 and i have never been so taken with anyone. Tears well up on my eyes when i Listen to her.
Same here. I just discovered her today and I’m kicking myself for not having heard her years ago. She’s A gift to us from heaven.
I’m 73 and I find tears and smiles at the same time! There is going to be something good in the future. May God bless and protect his angel.
I also have tears.
Robert, The following are all the same age, so I hope you all know about: Re-incarnation" Amira is 'reborn' and sings from a previous life experience. Amira has pleasure singing without any effort. you see it when she closes her eyes
@@oliviawutam
She like the rest of us is a unique person straight from the hand of God. She at an early age discovered her God given talent and I for one thank God for her.
She sang for maybe 30 seconds and already every hair was standing on end and my goose-bums had goosebumps. She is spellbinding. I am not a classical music fan at all, but this girl had me in tears by 45 seconds - her voice is so beautiful.
This little angel is fast becoming one of the greatest sopranos of all time !!!
no one on this earth. will ever beat this sound. amira is the world best female sound ever.
She started by knocking the socks off of everyone when, at only 9 years old, she won Holland’s Got Talent!! She has now gone on to become a SUPERSTAR!!! The whole world stands in awe of this young ladies’ tremendous God given talent!!! What an angel with the voice of a singing nightingale !!!
I can't help it but I had to come back again not only to hear that beautiful voice, but to see that beautiful precious smile when she walks out on the stage and that precious sweet smile at the end. She is so, so sweet.
I have no idea how many times I have returned to THIS concert to be absolutely enthralled by Amira's astounding voice and beautiful appearance.........what an ANGEL!
Amira is so beautiful. So, perfect. Such a talent.
Many times a day. I keep returning to listen to Amira. She is so beautiful and so enchanting. What an awesome talent. I am so fortunate.
God gave her a gift, and the duty to share it with the world, and to stay humble and gracious.
Today, 27/03/2021. This angel is 17 years old. Happy birthday
Amira I believe you make everyone here crying you got amazing voice and i believe God is exist and im sure of it !!!!
THIS STAGE WAS SET UP FOR A SUPER STAR, THEN THIS LITTLE GIRL WALKS OUT ON THE STAGE AND SING LIKE NO OTHER THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL IS BORN
Once in a very great while, God presents someone onto the world stage that transcends most all that have come before and that's where Amira comes in. Her voice is simply beyond description. A soprano version of Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, you name it. To describe Amira is to drain the vocabulary of superlatives.
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as is heaven, see here.. Listen also the Jussen brothers also from Holland (Schuberts Fantasia !!!)
Mijn kleinzoon heet Lukas, op z'n Afrikaans. Ook Amira leeft nu in dat mooie land, leve mandiba.
Moge al zijn opvolgers zijn wijsheid hebben.
Greetings from the city of peace and justice, Den Haag
Words cannot describe this young lady. I fell in love with her when she was on Holland's Got Talent when she was only 9 years old. There is no limit to her talent! God has sent us an angel.
Hitting the high C for over 8 seconds at the end of this beautifully sung song is beyond words. She is a true artist.
Amira makes me cry......reaction beyond words. My tears speak volumes !!!! Love this magnificent young lady. She has built playgrounds for children in South Africa with money from her music/Cd's. What a beautiful girl.
My goodness.... how can you not fall in love to this amzaing young beautiful lady from the Netherlands.. It is just an honor to leasten to her...
That beautiful smile lets you know how sweet and humble she is.
cobra47 USA. Half her earnings goes to build playgrounds for poor kids--and maintain them once built. She established a foundation for it.
My blood pressure went from 140/90 to 110/75 after watching this. And that is not a placebo effect. This is an angel singing
Incredible medicinal powers. Heals the soul. Doctors take note.
From Brasil: this girl is a gift, an angel that fell from heaven, for us to toast with her voice, purity and innocence. For all this, it is incomprehensible that 1100 people give dislikes.
This is Music come to life... Listen closely...Singers like this are a rare treasure, true Gifts from above!!!
SUBLIME - Merci Amira, ton talent, ta voix, ta gentillesse, ton sourire résonnent dans ce monde qui a besoin de personnes comme toi, nous apportant beaucoup de joie, de bonheur et en retour reçois toute ma gratitude et merci d'être cette merveilleuse Diva.
I wonder what it is that keeps me coming back to this track, It has to be more than her presence, her dress and the big finish. There are many other tracks that I find wonderful, but I keep returning to 'Nella Fantasia'.
I find it unbelievable that a 12 year old girl can sing like this and from where does she get the lung capacity. This young woman is truly amazing with a great future. I know she was asked this before and answered that for her it is normal, 'just like walking'
Neil Emerton ..... I know what you mean Neil, this rendition is without equal. Just the way she smiled at the end I get the sense that even she realized that it might have been extra special. If you want to hear Amiras voice in its purest form as an 11 year old, see Ave Maria (Gomez) Canisius Church (Dec.19 2015). Not all the glitz of her latest performances, but I swear, a voice that could drill through stone. Just incredible. Enjoy
This old man has tears in his eyes....thank you so much my child.
Love that smile at the end. She knows she smashed it. Fantastic!
i have been watching almost everything she has done since the age of 9. in this video she is now 12 or 13. it has always been said,"and a child will lead them". i never really understood that statement until i saw her sing. i still haven't changed my mind. every time i watch my favorite videos of amira, i'm a mess. CHILLS,GOOSEBUMPS, THEN I'M CRYING...AGAIN!!!
Kim. Beautiful 'a child will lead the way' that is Amira. (straight out of heaven) Thank you.
If we are comparing Amira's vocal cords as a music instrument, we can say that God gave her the perfect Stradivarius...
Amira's beautiful, angelic voice sends me to heaven every time I hear her! God bless you, Amira!
I will never get tired of listening to Amira sing this song, It's absolutely beautiful! She sings it better than anyone.
I'm a tough guy Listen to a lot of Rock music When I'm listening to Amira I have to cry so beautifully she sings she must be an angel
Tough or not we all cry
the last note is so hardly impossible to reach but she did it, that's why she's a star...
I see Amira an angel in human shape, probably descended from haven to praise the Lord ...
warning this girls voice can bring you to tears! NO JOKE!
I know I am looking for my handkerchief!!
Everyone in that building should be standing at the end of this extraordinary performance!
Callas made Elisabeth Schwarzkopf cry, Amira makes everyone cry
when you listen to Amira you feel to be in another world , a world of beauty and peace . She is a gift from God to all of us .
There are female singers all over the world who are good at singing, but even among them, Amira is not a singer created by humans. People are fascinated and get goosebumps and shed tears. Amira is special.
One of the most beautiful things I've witnessed in almost 70 years.
God is good!
THIS IS THE BEST NATURAL VOICE ON THIS PLANET, AMIRA RENDITION JUST FLOW OUT NATURAL, ITS MOST PERFECT SONG EVER. REMEMBER ALL I AM SAYING ITS THE MOST NATURAL VOICE EVER.
Until I saw Amira on Holland's Got Talent singing O Mio Babino Caro at age 9, I had no interest in opera or words I cannot understand. I have been obsessed with Amira and her angelic voice ever since. Her songs play in my head every day. She is amazing.
john c. I feel the same way. Amira doesn't even have to try,
Babbino
Look into her eyes. You will see a angel in it. So beautiful.
One of the most beautiful voices in the 21st century.
I come back to watch this from time to time to convince myself that this is real and not just a beautiful dream.
Since HGT I have been awestruck by the purity and clarity of Amira's voice. I am not a musician, but to me Amira's voice is better than any choir or any instrument. And her voice and presentation have only improved.
If I could add a superlative to those already given I would.
Good Lord! Twelve years old and she can do THAT! Beautiful beyond belief. Her Angel voice amazes me every time I hear it. What a gift God gave her. And what a gift it is to us. God Bless Amira.
Już późno. Jutro mam robotę, ale nie mogę się oderwać od słuchania Amiry. Cudny głos !
NELLA FANTASIA IS GOING TO BE THE BEST SONG EVER BY AMRIA. THIS IS PURE SOUND AND SHE SINGING LIVE WHAT A VOICE NONE WILL BEAT HER SHE GOT THE BEST VOICE ON THE PLANET
+Jacob Israel + Lets just say the best to date you have to give her room to grow.
I think I must have died and gone to heaven because this certainly must be the sound of a singing angel!!! Wow!!! She is absolutely phenomenal!!! Out of this world!!!
I’m an old man and I must say that this child takes my breath away. I’ve never heard a voice that has brought me to tears so many times. What a presence. Not just a voice but the sweetest instrument imaginable.
At the end of that beautiful song Nella Fantasia Amira your beautiful smile made me smile with you. In my opinion no one can sing it better. You have been moving like a freight train ever since Hollands Got Talent. We love you girl God Bless you and your whole family. Thank You!
we call many things that are not close to perfect, perfect. this is as close to perfect as anything i've ever seen or heard.

amira is the only singer that has made me cry, her voice is from heaven
Amira I don't think you realize the affect you have on your audiences ive never seen so many shed tears of joy when you sing you are truly remarkable take care keep singing please from a senior citizen of Canada/Scotland
Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant!!! This little lady was born to sing!!! What a shining Superstar!!!
If there are angels on Earth.... Amira is certainly the brightest of them. I've watched all her CZcams videos from her earliest impromptu performance on "Holland's Got Talent" to this latest. She has gone from a precocious nine-year-old, unaware of her raw talent, to the performance stages around the world, amazing audiences... yes, even bringing them to tears, with her beautiful renditions of classical pieces. Her beauty and talent grows with each year. Hup Amira!
I hope we'll have singers that sing like this forever ! Magnificent ! The world needs people like this to take us away from the tragedies. For just awhile, to fill our hearts with just a few moments. Forever they stand.
I'm entranced by Amira. The thought that crosses my mind is do we have composers who can write music that will fully explore the range and power of Amira's voice? More importantly, can they write music that is worthy of her voice?
This piece is one of the world's musical gems. Sometimes I find it on CZcams. This time performed by Amira Willighagen. The highest quality and experience. Thanks for the video.
In a world filled with strife and turmoil, God sent us this little angel to help make the world a better place!! What a voice!! What a TREMENDOUS talent!! A truly breath taking performance!!!
Oh my God, this clearness in her beautiful blue eyes at the end , the smile, the happiness in her face and of course her Angel voice, making Amira such a talent young lady !!
As with all singers, as she gets older
her voice becomes richer, fuller.
Imagine how beautiful her voice will be when she is 20 years old.
Ogni volta che ascolto la voce di Amira che canta "nella fantasia" si rinnova la mia emozione per la straordinaria sensibilità musicale di questa artista.
Concordo! Io l'ho "scoperta" nell'interpretazione O mio babbino caro, poi l'ho ascoltata in Nessun dorma e, considerato anche che non è di "madrelingua" italiana, da amante di musica lirica, è di gran lunga superiore a tante soprano con anni di esperienza!
Amira dear, miracle and Almighty’s blessings are with you. For such a young aged you are best soprano I heard.
Without wishing to be boring ,I will repeat ,yet again, a stunning performance, by a future opera diva of the very , very highest quality!!superb!!
I accidentally came upon Amira's 2013 audition of Holland's Got talent and listened to her sing O Mio Babbino Caro. I was awe struck at this nine year old girl that could sing like that. It was her time to make her appearance and share her gift with the rest of us. At that time I don't think she realized what an impact she had made on the world of music. And, since then, I have been trying to follow her advancement. I try to keep up on her interviews but most of them are not captioned for
English-speaking persons. Her first TV interview was, however, and it was very enjoyable. Amira has a voice that I am having a difficult time finding the right word to descirbe it. Impressive, magnificent, perfect, beautiful. One word that would encompass all of these... when she sings the songs just come so easily and naturally and the sound is so clear and bright. I have not been a fan of listening to opera songs before, but now, as long Amira Willighagen is singing, I will definitely be listening.
However, not only does she have the voice of angel, unmatched anywhere in this world, she is also a budding philanthrophist. My admiration for her increased ten-fold when I learned of her Gelukskinders Foundation. Thank you, Amira.
Peter, you've said it well and I'm proud of you that you also mention her Foundation. That's what we like about Amira, she's not only a gifted singer, but also cares for children who have less or nothing to play with, which is vital during the process of growing up. Amira took care of that, and it is just for this great humble gesture, she we be my lifetime singer, no matter what happens to her and which direction she will go.
Add to her effort in establishing and supporting Gelukskinder Foundation is the fact that she regularly performs in various charity concerts and events. Those performances are deducted from the number of performances she is allowed to perform in a given year under the law applicable to her. She turns down hundreds of invitations to perform for a fee yet she happily shares her talent for free to help others.
I too have been following her since HGT - I’ve never listened to opera before but I can listen to Amira for ever and a day - she is truly amazing!!
Woow ..Im her BIG fun ..very few people have voice like Angle ..Bravo Amira ..GOD Bless you .! Greetings from Canada .. 👌⭐💕🍷🌺🍁👍
2016 , elle 13 ans , rien à ajouter no comment la perfection à l'état pur , dommage que ses apparitions ne sont plus , bonjour à vous amira , le français qui vous apprécie
12 ans!
I kept thinking throughout this absolutely breathtaking rendition that there was no way Amira could possibly top
her mesmerizing performance........and then she hit that incredible last note!!!
THIS LITTLE LADY IS THE BEST. THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL
OMG she’s the best singer in the world and without a doubt the best soprano in the world.
I listen to her daily, sometimes I think I listen to one song but I can't stop I go from 1 to the next to the next sometimes for an hour's straight some songs multiple times. I hope I get the opportunity to see her Perform live before my time on this planet is up
What a treasure to be able to witness her in our lifetime.
Not before, not now, I have not seen anything like Amira yet! Brazilians are discovering this phenomenon called Amira. Greetings from Brasil, Amira !
RESPONDER
me too... CARA ESSA MENINA VAI SE FODER... ESCUTA AI AMAZING GRACE ELA OITAVA LA NA PQP !
Nobody should dislike this angel or other opera stars, they are all extremely gifted and beautiful
There has been no one like Amira ever and never can be again. She is unique and her voice will go down in history forever. I feel privileged to be alive at the same.
*Time*
6.5M views.... Nothing more needs to be said. She is the 8th wonder of the world
but 1.100 dislikes. no comment...😒
@@holtenauer63 I respect that everyone has their personal opinion. Mine happens to be Amira.
@@BrandynH 97% de likes es muy bueno, Amira es única, hay otras buenas cantantes y las respeto pero como Amira no hay otra, disfruto de su arte muchísimo pero también me encanta ella como persona, es un ser humano maravilloso.
seeing her on that stage in that pretty gown, she truly lives up to her name Princess. such an angelic performance, Bravo!! Amira. such a bright future.
OMG!! When she walked out on the stage, I could not believe how beautiful she has become and Her beautiful voice just melts my heart.
Hearing that voice and seeing those eyes at the same time is almost heaven
Not almost, because it is heaven on earth. A real gift from our dear Lord.
Another angel has managed to slip out of heaven! This Angels' voice melts my heart!!
Only Amira knows when to end with a note so high, so clear, so perfect that, like the old man in the video of her performance with Rieu, we gesture with the hand -- memorable perfection!
WOW! WOW! WOW! such a pure voice and magic sound. Never heard this level before and this girl is self taught. Unbelievable.
She has a special gift
Laura Bretan - Nella Fantasia (Focșani - 04.08.2019)
She is the gift!
Can't get sleep unless hear Amira's singing song's twice a week !
can't stop watching this video...
THIS YOUNG LADY HAS THE MOST PURE MAGICAL VOICE IN THE WORLD IT MATCHES HER SPIRIT, SHE CAN BRING YOU TO TEARS, THE WORLD IS WITNESSING SOMETHING SO GREAT THEY HAVE YET TO UNDERSTAND HER ROLE IN HISTORY.
Daiser
Witnessing this rendition of Nella Fantasia, I developed leaky-eyetis like the rest of the world and audience for no reason that I can explain. She is human off-stage, but her singing simply transcends into something indescribable. Delivered in the package of a child. Opera has suddenly become the go-to music for shower singing - and I don't believe I've listened to opera in decades. Amira, I hope you stay the course and continue to touch souls, thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
I experience your very aptly described leaky-eyetis every time I see her videos. Such a Christmas Tree Angel.
I have that problem with my eyes. But it’s usually when my missus asks me for money 😂
"Nella Fantasia" sung by 12-year-old Amira is wonderful with a pure and beautiful singing voice! 🎼🎤😃👍👍Amira is doing something that would normally be unthinkable😳
The splendid melody in her voice, the smooth deliverance and her effortless ability to reach the highest notes are what makes Amira the greatest soprano that has ever lived. I have listened to opera all my life and I am 70 -years-old I have listened to all the great sopranos there has never been anything like Amira. How I wish I was a young man so I could listen to this magnificent voice all of my life, I thank the Lord for allowing me to live long enough to have heard this immortal voice of Amira Willighagen and then with great gratitude I see this beautiful humble young lady that brings us this heavenly music. How fortunate the world is to be blessed with this great lady.
Amira is able to thrill the listener's soul with her magnificent voice,
and she continues to sing even more thrillingly as her voice matures! This young lady is the best at what she does!!!
Well said.
Thank you for your beautiful comment. Heartwarming.
@@christophervan6966 I am 74 now and I can't believe what I wrote I wouldn't change a word if anything I haven't expressed all that needs to be said.
Your comment captures the moment of this beautiful video. Amira's voice takes you into a magical world like Camelot does.
WOW! What a beautiful and dynamic persona verberating from this small,young Amira.She was born to sing opera and she is in a class of her own.
A real angel singing and here she is only twelve years old. A voice so clear, pure and beautiful has never been heard until she apppeared and began singing.
Every now and then a SUPER STAR is born!!
However, once in a lifetime, one might just be lucky enough to experience seeing a **Mega Talented Super Star** coming into being!! Amira undoubtedly is that **Mega Talented Super Star** What an absolute breathtaking performance!!!
I have pledged my heart to this beautiful Dutch soprano🌹🌹🌹
Hard to believe that at the time she sang this she was just 12 years old. Stunning!
Her smile at the end is a smile of pure joy. She is happy!!!! OMG I cannot get enough of her voice.
Such graceful demeanor. She composes herself royally. That voice is overpoweringly beautiful, it is awesome, the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. No question, my favorite opera singer!
Amira is the best female singer I have ever met and is a woman of great natural talent and kindness. Amira sings like an angel and the moment listening to Amira's pure and beautiful voice is blissful and eternal. from Japan.
An Angel came down to Earth...Amira Willighagen
Wonderful rendition of this song. Amira has such a beautiful pure voice. The musicians and singers on this stage will tell friends and family of the night they once performed with Amira Willighagen
Like a fairy from tales she charms people with her magic wand, but only those who resonate with this high frequencies. That I want to listen, the music that beats the time, break any barrier, unites and raises people!
