#Masked opera singers deliver moving performance on NYC subway

It must be the acoustics.

A trio of anonymous operatic vocalists were captured in a jaw-dropping sing-along on a nearly empty New York City subway car last Sunday.

Obscured by face masks, the singers have yet to be identified. (Is it you?)

Meanwhile, amid near-nonstop reports of violent attacks and service disruptions — the city’s much-derided transit system has long been a wellspring of some of the world’s most underrated soloists.

Following in the footsteps of now famous buskers such as Ed Sheeran, Beck and Tracy Chapman, for example, there’s Just Sam, the 22-year-old “American Idol” winner who built her career by busking on NYC subways.

Or, there’s secret sensation Charlotte Awbery, who blew us away in early 2020 when she was asked to sing Lady Gaga’s “Shallow” on-the-spot in a London tube station. A video of her spontaneous performance went viral instantly, landing her a spot on “Ellen” a week later, and the chance to record her own version of the Oscar-winning tune.

Indeed, despite humble beginnings, these underground entertainers are high caliber. And it’s not just singers. Dancers, too, have created a new form that is wholly unique to subway trains — using benches and stanchions as props for their subterranean acrobatics.

Even hip-hop icon Missy Elliott, a champion of groundbreaking choreography, had to give props to a crew of young New York City dancers whose “showtime” performance to Missy’s “Lose Control” was watched millions of times over on social media.

“This video [has] so much energy I was hyping them up through my phone,” she wrote of the footage, shared last month. “They SNAPPED Hard!”

As for the angelic subway chorus caught caroling last weekend, the moment is yours — so you might want to tag yourselves if you see this.
