In Los Angeles, a police officer spotted a homeless woman with a heavenly voice in the subway station.
An officer from the Los Angeles PD was stationed at the Wilshire and Normandie Purple Line station when he heard a woman performing a hauntingly beautiful version of the opera classic, Puccini Aria, on the platform.

Zamourka later told reporters that she hadn’t had any formal vocal training, but was classically trained on piano and violin. She said she typically played her violin to make money on the platform, but her instrument had been stolen three years back.
