    I am an old metal head from the 1980's. When I hear perfect pitch, my skin starts to curl, and I think the world is finally good again. This was beautiful. I hope this lady is working, doing what she loves! If not, I hope she is teaching and passing on her skills to the next Generation, so that our kids can have music, just like we did. With the classics, as well as those that brought us Metal, like Iron Maiden, and many others! Music is a language, not a sheet of paper! When written with class and skill, the animals will head,,,,,

      I don't know about others, but i am usually in a city only when i am running an errand, and have no time to spare. The other thing is, that i don't like being recorded, so even if i would for some odd reason be able to stop and listen, i would look to be out of camera.
      Apart from that, classic music and actually being able to perform music without autotune and electronics is generally underappreciated today which is another reason nobody stops and listens.

      Hi John. As you say this does seem to be an incredible coincidence that an unassuming very talented opera singer happens to walk by. However the area looks to be Covent Garden in London, home of the Royal Opera House only a few hundred yards away,. Also it is bang smack in the middle of the West End where Opera is also performed at the Colosseum nearby.
      Bear in mind that not every trained opera singer can get work in opera and end up playing their talents in the West End musicals.
      She is extremely talented and it is a shame that nobody had the time to just stop and appreciate her talent.

Such a flawless voice and moving performance... ❤ I think I have loved music since before I was born (with my mother playing music and singing for me while she was pregnant with me). I cannot remember a time when I was more moved by someone performing a song than this. Too often, musicians perform for the critical listener. This woman, though, looked and sounded like someone who was singing from the heart. What a heart! How I wish I could see and hear more of her singing -- not as a performer, but just expressing herself. That, to me, is what music is all about. Feeling.
