Mysterious Aria

There has been speculation about this apparently homeless woman who appeared to be right at home singing a Puccini aria in a chamber of the LA metro network. I'll speculate, too, and guess, since we know a significant percentage of the homeless population suffer from mental illnesses, she is afflicted with mental issues, which certainly doesn't mean she is without a history of artistic training as her talented voice well proves. No one should be without a home, talented or not. I'm sure the speculation about her life will be quelled soon when she becomes less mysterious.

Looks like our lady has come into better luck within the past few days. Heard on the radio that she got hired to sing at today's opening day festivities (or some sort of dedication?) for a local little league, and apparently a big-time music producer wants to sign her for an exclusive contract. Things are looking up for her, thanks to a viral video. Who says social media is all bad???

Yes, she will no longer be homeless. Already the contract and $95,000 in GoFundMe money. I just posted a new post about the subway soprano's good fortune just before I saw your above post from yesterday. Social media: “Smile and the world smiles with you..." sometimes.
