Amira Willighagen returns to Holland's Got Talent All Stars for a ten year anniversary. In Spring 2023, Dutch TV Channel RTL4 invited back the best of past HGT. It was not a contest, but a showcase of their progress since the show. As a special featured guest, Amira – the most famous contestant to have ever appeared on the show – was flown in from South Africa and was saved for the final performance of the night. The show was recorded before a live audience on May 19, 2023 in Aalsmeer, Netherlands, and was broadcast on Dutch television on December 30, 2023. Here is the full segment with Amira, along with judge's comments and English subtitles. The judges are Marc-Marie Huijbregts, Chantal Janzen, Dan Karaty, and Edson da Graça. Amira's father Gerrit was also present in the audience along with officers of her nonprofit, Gelukskinders.

The song Amira chose to sing is "Ebben? Ne andrò lontana" ("Well, then? I'll go far away"), 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. For the HGT show Amira sang a shortened version of the aria to conform to show rules. However, she sings the full aria with a live orchestra on her CD and DVD "On My Own," both only available on her foundation website: https://www.gelukskinders.org/en/store/ https://www.gelukskinders.org/en/stor...
