Amira Willighagen, Ebben? Ne Andrò Lontana • 2022

From Amira's 18th birthday "On My Own" concert filmed in Pretoria in March 2022. To purchase the DVD of the concert go to www.gelukskind...
"Ebben? Ne andrò lontana" is an aria by Italian composer Alfredo Catalani, from Act 1 of his 1892 opera "La Wally." The aria is sung by the main character Wally when her father refuses to allow her to marry the man she loves and wants her to marry another or she must leave his home. She chooses to take her chances in the Alpine snows rather than acquiesce to her father's demand. In the end she dies in an avalanche.
Amira mentions knowing this song since she was 9 years old. There is a documentary that portrays her singing the melody to her pet turtles when she was 12 in the first scene. It is cued up here: • Amira Willighagen - VP...
I have heard she made up her own words as she did not yet know the lyrics.

Thank you for posting this sensational beautiful performance by Amira. One of her best ever I feel. Her speaking voice is also so lovely and melodic. There are no words.

Definitely a wonderful performance!
"Music resembles poetry, in each
Are nameless graces which no methods teach,
And which a master hand alone can reach" (Alexander Pope).
Here we have Alfredo Catalani's master hand, but also Amira's inspired voice!
