Salvatore Licitra Sings Puccini

Sad is the news of tenor Salvatore Licitra's death at the tragically young age of 43. I prefer to remember him doing what he did best: singing. In the video above, Licitra sings "E lucevan le stelle," from Puccini's Tosca (La Scala Opera House, Milan, 2000), and below, "Nessun dorma, from Turandot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8y15v3hIOE
