Without ever having taken a single music or singing lesson, 11-year-old Amira Willighagen is quickly becoming an international opera star thanks to her natural (and extraordinary) singing skills.
The young girl recently accepted an invitation from another famous Dutch musician, André Rieu, to perform at Het Vrijthof in the Netherlands. As soon as she started singing "O Mio Babbino Caro" from Giacomo Puccini's opera Gianni Schicchi, the crowd erupted in cheer and awe.
There are just some kids who have incredible, natural talent, like seven-year-old singing sensation Angelina Jordan or five-year-old Celine Tam, who rocked "You Raise Me Up."
Close your eyes, and like these other child performers, you'll forget that Willighagen is only 11!
As soon as she started singing, it seemed like people couldn't believe such a big voice had come out of such a little girl. What's even more incredible is that this girl is completely self-taught — using only YouTube tutorials to learn how to sing! As expected, the spellbound crowd gave her a standing ovation at the end of her performance.
Do you think it's possible that someone this talented could be completely self-taught? All the singing lessons in the world wouldn't get me to her level of accomplishment!
