(audience cheering and applauding) And now, ladies and gentlemen, the three fantastic tenors are going to sing an aria, and I can tell you every night, every concert, wherever we play in the world, when they sing this aria, they get a standing ovation.

(audience laughs) Every night, I must tell you, it's the most beautiful aria ever composed for tenors, composed by Giacomo Puccini from his opera Turandot.

And of course they are going to sing Nessun Dorma.

Nessun Dorma was the very last aria Puccini composed before he died.

The way these three fantastic tenors sing this aria is really unbelievable.

Give them an enormous applause: The Platin Tenors.

Marjorie, my wife, and me, every Sunday morning we take a walk here in our beautiful province, Limburg.

(André speaking a foreign language) (André speaking a foreign language) (André speaking a foreign language) (André speaking a foreign language) And tired of walking, we find always anywhere a little café to rest.

And the most beautiful thing that can happen then is that there is a fanfare passing by.

(André speaking a foreign language) (André speaking a foreign language) (André speaking a foreign language) (André speaking a foreign language) The sound of brass players in the open air.

It's so beautiful.

And because I know that you come from all over the world, I had the idea to show you how that sounds here on the big square.

The sound of brass players in the open air.

So, through radio and internet, I asked brass players from the whole country if they were interested to play with us tonight.

And I thought 40, 50 will be interested.

400!

(audience laughs) Give them an applause!

There they are, the biggest fanfare of the Netherlands!

My whole youth I was in this church here, in the church choir, as a little boy.

(André speaking a foreign language) (André speaking a foreign language) I really don't know how many high masses I sang.

How do you choose your musicians?

How do you choose your soloists?

Ah, with my heart.

Only with my heart.

When I know that a piece of music touches my heart, I'm sure it will touch your heart.

Some time ago we had auditions for a new soprano in my studio here in Maastricht.

And a lot of sopranos came and they all sang fantastically.

And then a young lady entered my studio and the moment she started to sing, she immediately touched my heart and I knew this soprano is going to sing on the big square.

She's going to sing a magnificent song composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber from his musical The Phantom of the Opera.

And of course she's going to sing the most beautiful song, "Think of Me."

And she really sings it like an angel.

Give her an enormous applause: Anna Majchrzak.

(audience cheering and applauding) (audience cheering and applauding) Ladies and gentlemen, when she stood on stage here last year for the first time, she was 15 years old.

A little girl with a terrible disease and a golden voice.

With this golden voice, she touched all the hearts of the people here on the square.

Everybody was in tears.

Before the first rehearsal, I asked her, "Do you want to go on tour with us around the world?"

"Yes, of course," she said.

And now, we are touring the world.

She's sung in Berlin, in London, in Paris, in Vienna, in Mexico, everywhere.

She's touching the hearts of the people.

And tonight she is here.

Give her an enormous applause: Emma Kok.

(audience cheering and applauding) EMMA: The song that I am going to sing is about my dream.

And the person who helped me making my dream come true André asked me who the person is.

Well, of course, it's you, André.

(audience cheering and applauding) But not only André, of course, this amazing orchestra.

(audience cheering and applauding) And Tjeerd Oosterhuis, the composer of this beautiful song.

And he is here tonight.

(audience cheering and applauding) And all of you, the audience.

All of you have made my dream come true.

Because of you, I can feel free.

Right now, I feel free.

When I finish singing my song I will go backstage and I will be the girl who has a paralyzed stomach.

But right now, I want to be the girl who is dancing on the stars.

"Every night playing in another city, all this traveling?"

Not at all.

We are a bunch of friends.

We have a lot of fun together.

Not only here on stage, but also during our long journeys around the world.

In our buses, in the planes, in the hotels, in the bar.

(audience laughs) Lately we were in a bar and one of the ladies in my choir is from Greece.

And spontaneously she started to sing a song from her country in the bar.

And the whole bar singing along with her, it was an atmosphere I will never forget.

All the people who were already in bed, they came down to sing with her.

I asked her, "Why don't you sing this lovely Greek song on the big square in Maastricht?"

Give her an enormous applause, that she is from Greece, Christina Petrou.

And at the same time, this music gives so much hope for the future.

But before we are going to play this very last piece tonight, (audience booing) I would like to say something to you.

Whatever happens in your life, try always to believe in the power of music.
