tenor singer Salvatore Licitra dies at scooter accident

So perhaps there IS no Next Pavarotti. Pavarotti was unique, a voice that no one else can be. And even if they could, there’s no knowing if their number would ultimately have included Salvatore Licitra.

Salvatore Licitra, a tenor with a ringing, powerful voice who rode a sensational surprise Metropolitan Opera debut to dozens of performances with the company, died on Monday in Catania, Sicily, nine days after being severely injured in a motor-scooter accident.
