Coronavirus: 'I sing opera from my balcony as a prayer to Venice'

Newsday

Available for over a year

Opera singer Anna Sanachina decided to sing arias out of her window, to lift the morale of the people in her city who were in self isolation. Anna has been singing to her neighbours in Venice, a region severely hit by Covid-19 and a video clip of her impromptu performance went viral after it was posted online.
