Extract from Trijntje Oosterhuis' wiki: The onset of her breakthrough for the wider audience within Holland was her rendition of the opening anthem composed by John Ewbank called "De zee" (The Sea) in front of 60,000 invited guests and for millions of TV viewers, during the official opening ceremony of the brand new soccer stadium in Amsterdam on August 14, 1996; soccer being the most popular sport in Holland, hence its widely promoted opening gala on national TV.
