Pavoratti's family/heirs asked Mr. Trump to cease using 'Nessun Dorma'-likely they are afraid of backlash/association with Trump. They claim Luciano's ideals did not align with Mr. Trump's.
I kind of doubt they would have made that same decision if HIllary had been using the song-probably wouldn't have considered it hypocritical for Mrs. Clinton to forcibly remove Ghaddafi and willfully allow our young Ambassador to be murdered.
Meanwhile, Jackie Evancho, another lovely opera star, will perform at the Inauguration.
Good to see a White American girl, sixteen years old, posessing the courage....
Mr. Trump has always been a fan of both figure skating and good music, and has worked with good artists in the past.
Ms. Evancho is a big, big improvement over Beyonce', in my humble opinion.
