Teiya Kasahara is a Toronto-based opera singer who goes by ‘them/they’ and performs for their neighbors on their balcony.

It has been a difficult moment for everyone lately. We have lost hundreds of thousands of lives, been kept apart from loved ones,

and seen most people’s worlds shrink to their homes and the neighborhood grocery store. It is understandable why despair and loneliness are on the rise.

That’s why witnessing instances of people going above and beyond to lift the emotions of others is so uplifting.

Opera singer Teiya, from Toronto, started singing from their balcony to cheer up the neighbors and entertain them after being inspired by Italian opera singers.
