Amira Willighagen & Ruhan du Toit - The Phantom Of The Opera (Live at Lexus Pop Classics 2023)

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

Oh my gosh! A change in hairstyle, a change in wardrobe, and suddenly, she is no longer the little girl who won HGT. She is a beautiful young woman with extraordinary talent. Well done Amira! Bravo!

[@gabriellew6467]

Yes, to sing O Mio Babbino Caro at nine with such extraordinary impact, that was amazing. But to be fair, change of hairstyle and wardrobe here is assisted by the passage of time: 11 years will do that for many of us. Just a passing observation, no criticism intended 😊

[@rubenoscarrodriguez1577]

FINALLY !!! Epic performance by Amira ,Ruhan and all the orchestra . Spectacular

[@lorriemamoet9406]

Congratulations to the quitarist too. Great performance.

[@raymondrobillard9216]

Amira has grown into a beautiful woman. What a voice. 🎉

[@garylazenby5230]

This performance must be one of Amiras finest I was enchanted by her beautiful voice the whole performance was world class.

[@oldiron1223]

I've been a Sarah Brightman fan for a very long time and have heard many other sopranos try to sing Christine. As much as it pains me I think Amira is better than Sarah was at 25.

[@sabineausmg9543]

What a great performance of Amira and Ruhan du Toit! I think in this piece Amira showcases her actual vocal range from the G3 in the beginning (She starts with A3, but the 7th tone is a G3) to the E6 in the end! Phenomenal! 🥰

[@africo9104]

I Couldn't have said this better.

Hello Sabine, I'm listening to this in the Maltese sunshine with a glass of wine, Amiras voice is beyond description. Stunning see you soon on Amira fans🖐

Another absolute out of the park HOMERUN by the wonderful & beautiful AMIRA!!!

[@acnc64]

Thank you for putting this up another fine performance by both. I love this musical.

[@jorgechavesfilho]

Great! Yeah, Amira Willighagen projecting an unbelievable E6 was the icing on the cake of the most beautiful production of Phantom of the Opera I've ever had the privilege of seeing.

[@cmlarose50]

Jorge - i know operatic voices but it seems this powerful singing could damage her voice; tell me, no it won't. chris

[@jorgechavesfilho]

@@cmlarose50 Good question, my friend. A C6 can brutally damage the vocal cords, to the point of bleeding, if the person attempting it has no vocal support or technique. This is not the case with Amira. She has projected C6 countless times at the end of Nella Fantasia. At the age of 13, she projected a long D6 followed by a short E6 flat when she sang Amazing Grace. To sing the very high and powerful final riffs of The Phanton of the Opera, and especially the powerful final E6, Amira took masterclasses with the magnificent soprano Wendy Kokkelkoren. Thus, Amira, with her powerful vocal instrument given from Above and with a lot of proper technique and training, is able to sing the most challenging notes with safety.

[@johnojvind7641]

@@jorgechavesfilho Someone ranted Wendy Kokkelkoren on her YT-channel and about Amira and her. She still answered, hahahaha. You can check her video TOP 10| Sensational Vocals Wendy Kokkelkoren and check the conversation, it is 100 percent true, ahahaha. Here is the answer from Wend,y quote, She is a very sweet, loving and talented colleague. I helped her last year with a small masterclass and studying a difficult opera aria. The high notes she could reach already :) :) :)Greetings Wendy So you again were 100 percent wrong when you said Wendy taught her the high notes, do your homework first..

[@johnojvind7641]

@@jorgechavesfilho So in fact it was Wendy who helped Amira with her Ebben and it ended up more or less as a catastrophe, Wendy is a complete joke as a teacher, she can´t sing at hoghest level herself, so what to expect. Do you think we should tell Wendy that or at least warn Amira not use her again as a teacher ?

[@marlisegreen2584]

Ruhan ... what a voice!!!

[@mostguitarswins]

It's great seeing Amira living her dream. I still remember her auditioning on Holland's Got Talent when she was nine years old, saying she learned how to sing Opera by watching KZbin videos 👏👏👏👏

[@CredoDesign-g9v]

Speechless! She is such a wonder

[@drfanierudolph]

What a performance. There's just nothing better than hearing the quality or Ruhan du Toit and Amira together. I waited years for them to perform this masterpiece together. And they made a masterpiece of it by themselves!!!!!!

I'm so glad to see Amira again at the very best and getting better by the year. Very different this time. Deeper voice but still getting the very high notes she has been known for.

[@fernandopereiramartins3268]

Estou sem palavras, o que acabei de ouvir foi divino, já ouvi varias versões do fantasma da ópera e também adorei, mas esta teve noutro nível. Amira qundo atingir os 25 anos com esta evolução será a rainha das sopranos na minha opinião.

Amira is incredible. Another amazing performance. I love that she stayed close to her operatic roots, those who don't, and do crossover performances, don't achieve the same recognition.

[@briang.4249]

I am with one of the reviews posted, I also think Amira blew her mic whilst singing. This is something completely different combining classical, rock and opera to produce something unique. I am always biased when it comes to Amira and her majestic singing, so please forgive me if I am repeating myself. When Amira was on the Dutch TV at the tender age of 9 ,I was totally in Amira's thrall. It goes without saying that Amira is the best Soprano on the planet. This particular song not only showcases the Soprano aspect of her voice, but also Amira's diversity. The gentleman who is singing is also really good as was the guitarist.
