Amira Willighagen, a 9-year-old Dutch girl, gave yet another soul-stirring opera performance on Saturday evening.

She sang “Nessun Dorma” in front of a live audience at “Holland’s Got Talent 2013.” The song is from the final act of Giacomo Puccini’s opera “Turandot.”

Previous performances include “Ave Maria” and “O Mio Babbino Caro.”

Many have compared the 9-year-old to Jackie Evancho, 13, of the U.S., who blew audiences away in “America’s Got Talent.”

Previous videos of her singing have generated millions of hits on YouTube, with many expressing awe.

Evancho also performed “Nessun Dorma” last year.
