Before we continue the programme and before I ask you, Your Majesty, to do the opening ceremony,
we'll have a musical intermezzo - and what a great one!!! -
There they are entering the stage:
the great brass ensemble of the Gelderland's orchestra with the name "HGO Brass".
And they accompany the 13 yo Amira Willighagen. 
At the age of 9 she won "Holland's got Talent"
Who watched it?  - - - 
20 million people did see it - and I only see 3 hands!!! -
Well, Amira's audition had been watched worldwide
Especially for today there has been written an arrangement of the two most famous and heart-touching arias out of the opera repertoire,
Puccini's "Nessun Dorma" and "O mio babbino caro".
Enjoy the brass ensemble of the Gelderland's orchestra 
and the heart-touchingly beautiful voice of Amira!
If I had waited longer, the applause would not have stopped for a long time! - Yesterday we both were here for the rehearsal in our work clothes
- and now you are looking every inch like a princess, Amira! How is that possible-such a (small) body - and such a voice?
Well, I think it's coming somewhere from inside.
It's just there, right?
Yes
You were still very young when you started singing opera. How did this happen?
 How did you come up with this idea?
Well, I've always been drawn to classical music. I didn't listen to pop music a lot.
 Then I switched the radio on and listened to a classical channel where Paul Potts was singing "Nessun Dorma", which I have just sung here.
I immediately fell in love with this aria and started to sing it myself. 
At that time I was not aware that this was very nice.
But then I sang it to my mother and she said: 'WOW, AMIRA !!!' 
And then I said, 'Oh, do you like it?'
You are multitalented, because you can also run very fast. 
You have participated in the "Zevenheuvelenloop" several times,
you twice won the "Mini-Zevenheuvelenloop" and also had some high rankings. 
And moreover you have a foundation.
Yes.
Foundation Gelukskinders. What is it about?
Well, this is a foundation with which I am building playgrounds for children in South Africa. There are already many companies or foundations that ensure that children get food and clothing.
This is, of course, very good and important for the children. But I am a child myself and I know how nice it is to play with my brother, just go to the playground with our bikes and play football.
But these children can not do that, they just sit there and throw with stones. 
And actually, I think they miss a lot of their youth.
So I decided to build playgrounds there. And when I began to earn money, 
I wanted to do something good with it.
And how many playgrounds have you already opened?
I've already opened four.
Well, that is worth a big applause!
In South Africa!
Your mother is from South Africa, and I've heard you will return there.
Yes!
So you are going to leave us?
Yes, but I will return regularly to perform here and see you all here 
and welcome the Netherlands again.
Luckily for us! We are very happy about this! - 
I ask for a strong applause for Amira Willighagen -
thank you, gentlemen (towards the brass ensemble), fantastic!
Thank you, Amira, thank you very much!
