My mother was a soprano also and sang with the San Francisco Opera for two seasons. I have a recording of her singing this. Thank you. You brought back so many wonderful memories of her singing career...to tears.
I was working in N. British Columbia, Canada when the outbreak was made public, and had to return to Vancouver on the S. W. coast. At some point, I heard another person singing publicly, which made me weep as I did when my mom died in my arms. When I heard you sing tonight, I felt the heartbreak and love for life, for music, art, everyday movements of life, which many of us have presumed will be there tomorrow. I cry, not because I feel hopeless, but because I know that our presumptions that lives will just continue is not one that we should ever make. Every day is a gift, every life, every song, the beauty of Spring .... Thank you.
Deeply sorry for your loss. Despite your pain… you found an extraordinary and distinguished way …..in those challenging moments…..to express your loss. Hopefully…. your emotional recovery is well under way.
My great aunt passed away today and she was the last matriarch of our family in that generation. Also, where I am at, people have made this pandemic so politicized instead of neighbors just being kind to one another as we all try to get through this. I accidentally came across your videos and watching them has made me cry with a mixture of sadness, relief and gratitude. Thank you.
this made me cry.....there is something very special about this video aside from your voice of an angel, which touched me so deeply that it brought tears to my eyes......Hearing such soaring music on a balcony, with the singer dressed in jeans, a jacket and a toque makes this music so accessible to everyone!!!
Mozart is my Bae and no one will ever change my mind on that but there are times that the real, down to earth, human experience expressed by composers like Puccini is what your soul needs. Like, sometimes, universal truths like physics, math, and Mozart don’t heal you the way the flawed, imperfect, human experience can make you feel that glimmer of hope. This reminded me of that.
What a beautiful voice. If this lockdown keeps going we are all going to be opera experts and those who are not opera fans may come around to appreciating the beauty of opera.
What a wonderful thing you are doing from a balcony. What a fitting place. The world would love to hear more beautiful voices like yours. Keep the songs coming, people are listening and loving it. Thank you.
My mom is a soprano and also a music teacher, I'm living outside of country far away from my family for 10 years now. Listen to this made me cry of happiness to remember when I was a kid and went all time with my mom to the teathre to watch her singing. Your are amazing. Thank you for that ♥️
So beautiful that you can share your voice with the world for free and lift the hearts of those in a solemn State and for those that are not God bless you take care
This was magnificent, all the more so for its simplicity, sincerity and unpretentiousness. You never know by looking at someone what kind of gifts they have inside them just waiting to be expressed to the world.
I’ve never been or really heard any opera before but that was beautiful. Had to laugh at the end, even the dog had to show his/her appreciation of your gift.
Puccini always brings me to tears - I can only assume that my part-Italian blood brings it out. Thank you so much, you have a glorious voice and keep up the fantastic work! 💜💜
Wonderful! I love Puccini. What would I give to live in a musical neighborhood. It's so nice to hear instruments from everywhere, and if you're lucky, even such a beautiful voice.
I didnt think this would get me, yet here I am with a knot in my throat and a full heart, that was so beautiful of you ty for doing them for them and us😭💕
Was walking (in a socially isolated way) along Sugar Beach the other day, so I can picture exactly where you are singing from as if I were there. Thank you for raising my spirits with such exquisite beauty.
I love this aria and was listening to various people sing it and ran across your video. I am so glad I clicked on it! Your beautiful voice gave me goosebumps (and that doesn't happen often)! Bravo Bravo! ❤

You're neighbors are lucky. You're amazing 👏
You are literally saving my life right now.
Lakme duet brought me here …Wonderful.

I'm not really an emotional man but, this genuinely moved me.
What a lovely quarantine days would this be if I'm listening to this beautiful voice right in my balcony. Luv it. Mwah!
Opera singers transfers the pain and happiness in such consentrated packages
This is simply an act of pure love and generosity.
Made me tear up and gave me chills. So beautiful.
What a pity that we're not living in your neighborhood, experiencing your enchanting voice. Thank you for sharing Teiya, be blessed!

There's a reason songs like this have lasted so long, so powerful.

Every so often I listen to you again and again. Incredible
so amazing. so beautiful.reminds me of Maria Callas💓
Puccini always brings me to tears - I can only assume that my part-Italian blood brings it out. Thank you so much, you have a glorious voice and keep up the fantastic work! 💜💜

I have heard about 100 different singers attempt to sing this. You are absolutely one of the best to have ever done it
Lacrime agli occhi! Sei stata straordinaria! Un saluto speciale da un’italiana che vive a Madrid!
OMG! Your opening notes gave me goosebumps! I almost cried! Oh, so beautiful!
Wonderful! I love Puccini. What would I give to live in a musical neighborhood. It's so nice to hear instruments from everywhere, and if you're lucky, even such a beautiful voice.
