Salvatore Licitra, born of Sicilian parents in Switzerland, made his debut as a tenor at the Teatro Regio in Parma with "Un ballo in maschera" by Giuseppe Verdi in 1998, and in 1999 was chosen by director Riccardo Muti to play in the theater of La Scala "La forza del destino."
In the Arena of Verona sang Tosca and Madame Butterfly followed by La Scala in Milan, Madrid and Tokyo. He returned to Milan to Il trovatore with Muti, then to New York to debut in the Richard Tucker Gala. In the Wiener Staatsoper sang Tosca and Il Trovatore at the Teatro Nacional de San Carlos in Lisbon.
His great claim to fame came May 11, 2002 when he debuted at the Metropolitan Opera in New York replacing Luciano Pavarotti in "Tosca" and his performance was followed in front of the theater with a giant screen for about 3,000 spectators.
The young tenor gave Puccini's opera a human touch, opened the emotions of a romantic opera endlessly represented and New Yorkers were able to see in it a substitute for height.
After the function, the public gave him a standing ovation of several minutes.
Salvatore Licitra's tenor, one of the most important Italian opera scenes, died in the Sicilian town of Catania in 2011 after getting seriously injured in a traffic accident while attempting to collect a prize that would most excite him in recognition of his homeland with the award Ragusani nel mondo.
