Mirusia Louwerse’s Magical “Con Te Partirò” Stuns A Crowd Of Thousands

In 2009, Mirusia Louwerse joined André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra at Amsterdam Arena for a breathtaking performance of Con te partirò (also known as Time to Say Goodbye). The grandeur of the venue, the sweeping orchestration, and Mirusia’s angelic voice came together to create a truly unforgettable moment.

Often called Rieu’s “Angel of Australia,” Mirusia brought both grace and power to the song, paying homage to Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman while making it uniquely her own. Backed by Rieu’s lush orchestral arrangement, the performance soared, leaving the audience spellbound. It was a night of music at its most magical—one that still resonates with fans today.

A breathtaking display of lights illuminated the vast audience, their expressions reflecting the emotion of the moment. For those lucky enough to witness it in person, this performance was an experience to cherish forever.

First made famous by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman, Con Te Partirò is a song that transcends language, stirring feelings of longing, farewell, and hope. Mirusia’s stunning vocals, paired with André Rieu’s masterful orchestra, gave new life to this beloved classic.

Plenty of people flooded the video with praise such as “I think the most beautiful song ever written, sung by perhaps the best female singer in the world, not to mention one of the most graceful and beautiful women to ever walk onto a stage” and “I love to hear her sing, she does a great job no matter what song she sings she is altogether wonderful. A real pleasure to listen to.”
