Passenger impressed by cabby's 'hidden talent' as he belts out Italian opera song
It is not everyday that you board a taxi and meet a driver with such undiscovered talent.
Thomas Manhart kick-started his cab journey with some small talk with his driver, and naturally, the driver asked him for his job scope.
Thomas is a full time staff at the School Of The Arts (SOTA), and has a strong background in opera.
Said Thomas in the video caption:
"The cabby then mentioned that he also had singing lessons, but never performed.
"His teacher was a Chinese tenor who studied in the 50s in Italy and returned to Singapore to teach."
Then, the amazing thing happened.
In the video below, the 63-year-old taxi driver began to sing a short Italian opera song.
"He called me teacher and bowed, but I bowed lower because this gets all my respect!" added Thomas.
