With overwhelmingly positive reviews, Salvatore gave a repeated performance with The West Side Opera in Manhattan. Because of his success with Turridu Mr. Chiarelli was offered the role of Canio in the Capital Opera’s production of I Pagliacci treating the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania audience to – as a reviewer wrote- “ a truly splendid evening of Leoncavallo”.
