Timeline

2004

Amira Willighagen (born 27 March 2004) is a Dutch soprano singer who won the sixth season of Holland's Got Talent in 2013, at the age of nine.

Amira Willighagen speaks several languages including: Dutch, Afrikaans, and English because she was born to a Dutch father and a South African mother whose mother tongue is Afrikaans.

She grew up surrounded by classical music.

At the age of seven, during a holiday in the United Kingdom, she heard the aria "Nessun Dorma", performed by Luciano Pavarotti.

In that period she looked at her brother Fincent playing the violin, their mother Frieda also played the violin and the father Gerrit played the piano.

She did not know how to play instruments, so she tried to sing vocally.

At the beginning, before taking singing lessons, Willighagen learned by herself to sing opera arias, using YouTube tutorials.

That's how she discovered her talent and passion for music.

Even her mother was surprised when she heard her the first time singing.

2012

Two of her first public appearances took place in 2012, at the "Music makes Friends" festival in Colmschate (accompanied by her family) and as a solo singer in the Emmaus Children's Choir, singing a Dutch version of the song "Nella Fantasia".

After two years of practice and performance improvement, she was ready to participate in the show Holland's Got Talent.

Indeed, she won the admiration of the jury, the public and millions of people from all over the world who saw her on television and on the Internet.

Willighagen auditioned for Holland's Got Talent and so impressed the judging panel with her version of "O Mio Babbino Caro" from Puccini's opera Gianni Schicchi that within seconds the judges were staring in awe and disbelief.

Her performance rapidly became a YouTube hit, with over 150 million combined views, as of January 2024.

In the semi-finals, she performed Gounod's "Ave Maria".

"You're a star who belongs on stage!", said Dan Karaty, one of the judges, after her performance in the semi-finals.

In the final she sang "Nessun Dorma", from Puccini's opera Turandot.

She won the competition with over 50% of the votes of the TV-viewers and audience.
