*To our hospitality & restaurant industry and food delivery people, this is especially for you!! Thank you for all you do!! #takeoutwednesday #canadatakeout #takeoutday #saveourhospitality
And to all those out there practicing social distancing, isolating yourselves, or in quarantine, this is also for you. We all need a little more music in our lives to breathe through these waves of change and hardship. Sending you my love and my voice.
-- Big virtual hugs 🤗
Shouted from the 5th floor balcony, I serenade Artscape Bayside and its neighbouring residents and passer-bys with some classical music!

Ah, my favourite, you did it justice. People like you got us through dark days. ❤

[@sofiaj350]

It always amazes me how we don’t look like the abilities that our brain and body have. Just amazing to look like simple humans and have this voice.

[@marthahykel2947]

Yes......amazing.

[@amiematthews6469]

It always amazes me how judgmental people are of others based on appearance.

[@freaxfilm]

@@amiematthews6469 exactly, like she just wears winter clothes as she is in cold in balcony, what is this comment even. She for sure wears nice robes when on stage in opera.

[@Akikochris]

This brought me to tears when everyone started honking and cheering

[@ronaldkatsuki7413]

Me too.. And in the end i cant hold anymore..

[@loveshine7819]

In tears …Only half way through 😭

[@jbartelsw]

Brilliant....just love this, thank you!! Sending a heart.

[@terrencebadger4149]

I'm wiping the tears from my eyes so beautiful. Lucky neighbors. I could listen all night

[@the0v0man]

Absolutely beautiful beautiful beautiful performance!!! What a lucky neighbourhood! You’re a star. An over achieving star hahaha✨🌟✨🌟✨

[@musicfan28]

You are a real pure Soprano . Your voice is a gift from the sky.

[@istrala]

I teared up as you sang the final phrase. It was so lovely to hear the appreciation of your neighbors and passersby. What a gift to share.

[@teroblepuns]

Same

[@Sigil7x3]

How lucky to be your neighbor ❤️

[@AAbshier]

Tough times call for opera therapy--and you're the best out there. Thank you!

[@christinelabrie1430]

I love how everyone starts to come out of their apartments. Beautiful.

[@talitastemmet6406]

English Translation of the Flower Duet Under the thick dome where the white jasmine With the roses entwined together On the river bank covered with flowers laughing in the morning Let us descend together! Gently floating on its charming risings, On the river’s current On the shining waves, One hand reaches, Reaches for the bank, Where the spring sleeps, And the bird, the bird sings. Under the thick dome where the white jasmine Ah! calling us Together! Under the thick dome where white jasmine With the roses entwined together On the river bank covered with flowers laughing in the morning Let us descend together!

[@karenaitchison1246]

You hear so many opera singers saying they can’t sing outside as the cold air passing over their vocal chords is not good, so thank you Teiya for sharing your wonderful gift I have cried over each one how lucky to have it live. Xx

[@jorgeandresromeropuentes3536]

You are beautiful, I love ❤ Thank you, for is magnificent interprrtation.

[@Techn0taku]

If I actually heard this on my balcony, I would think it'd be the end of the world.

[@ellecee453]

...and the beginning of the next!

[@doloresenriquez1809]

😂😂😂😂 at least you didn’t jump over the balcony

[@musicfan28]

Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂

[@uggggggghhhhh]

Lmao some years ago there was videos going around of loud trumpet sounds coming from the sky and like 90% of the comments were about the world ending and jesus returning. Not to derail but kinda funny: when i was 18 i came to the U.S from a small town in southern mexico and in my entire life there I never ever saw an airplane flying overhead and only saw a helicopter once so i didnt know that usually, if planes are flying really up high and are not visible, you still hear the roaring of the engines (especially on cloudy days bc clouds reflect sound) and i would get so terrified but it only lasted a few months bc i googled it. I also got really spooked by those dancing orb lights that clubs shine at the clouds, i thought it was aliens hahah ✨ just immigrant things ✨

[@halewich]

It would be so funny if when she started to sing one of her neighbors yelled out and told her, "Shut The F**k Up!"

[@KingSummerbody]

I cried, I got goosebumps and you just got a new sub!!!.... more over I tried doing this! Lol let’s just say you are a mastermind!!!

[@carmencaldera5834]

Teiya, you are a gift from heavens....!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alastairkerr6081]

Beautiful voice, like an angel, tears stream down a 65 year old mans face thank you.

[@liesavillandre3481]

[@garthl2954]

What a stunning and HUGELY successful solo duet!! BRAVA!!!

[@stephan6372]

What a voice!!!!!! Clarity....

[@misseh9420]

Awesome, plus the thought behind it is amazing! Even though in now 2023, covid made me discover new talents, in 2021 I was stir crazy and I love musicals so I auditioned with ZERO musical training for a full production of Rocky Horror. I got cast in ensemble and one of my castmates who is a highly trained singer was like wow, you have a great voice naturally, you should get some formal training. So I did. In 2022 I was cast as a lead (Magenta) in another full RH production, I train with an opera singer and The Flower Duet is my next song to learn. My range keeps expanding and expanding. Btw I'm 40 so never stop dreaming people!

[@rizab519]

Dear Teiya: Thanks so much for making my day a better one. Your beautiful voice is music to my ears. Love and prayers from Windsor, Ontario.

[@jerrysstories711]

Thank you so much for this! I have difficulty understanding this song, so I've been looking around for a solo where the singer enunciates well and the music is subdued. Your version made it so easy to follow the libretto!
