Ever since she won Switzerland’s Got Talent, Maya Wirz has been the Alpine equivalent of Susan Boyle.

She has a Sony record contract with all the trimmings, and can hardly get her bus out of the depot in the morning for all the autograph demands. This Saturday she gets to sing with the Berne Symphony Orchestra in the nation’s foremost gathering place, in front of Parliament.  Lavard Skou-Larsen conducts, and there’s an Italian tenor in support (no, not Paul Potts).

William Tell overture, anyone?

Here she is on youtube, singing outside her bus
