R.I.P. Salvatore Licitra

By now everyone has heard the tragic news that tenor Salvatore Licitra has died at age 43 following a motorbike accident in Italy. Salvatore’s final performance of his career occurred this summer at Ravinia when he starred with Patricia Racette and Bryn Terfel in Tosca with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of James Conlon. As happy as we are that we got to experience his rare talent, we are sad to have gotten just a taste of what could have been.
