EUROPEAN TOUR: HUNGARY, CZECH REPUBLIC and LITHUANIA by Daniela

Little by little, Il Volo has reached the last 3 concerts of the European tour.
There were great satisfactions and everything on tour went well.

9 October, Hungary: BUDAPEST

A nice surprise from Gianluca during the soundcheck in Budapest, he sang and played SIGN OF THE TIMES, very good!! 😍

HALLELUJAH

HERE’S TO YOU

There was a guest, the Hungarian singer, Gabi Tóth with whom they sang the beautiful song: CANZONE PER TE.
Beautiful quartet, congratulations to all four. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
GABI published this video on her Facebook page, with this comment:
Il Volo had a fantastic concert last night and I am grateful to have been able to sing this wonderful song with them, with just one rehearsal and without speaking the same language, but we understood each other in the language of music! Thanks for the opportunity, Roland Horvat. (her manager)

Il Volo hosted a fantastic evening in Budapest!  🎉
Budapest, October 10, 2023. It was a magical evening on October 9, when the trio of IL VOLO, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble performed at the Budapest Sportarena. The evening was opened by the energetic performance of the talented Vavra Bence, where the excitement and anticipation of the audience could be felt from the very beginning. The tension reached its peak when the long-awaited moment finally arrived and IL VOLO took the stage. The world-famous trio, which conquered the Hungarian audience for the first time in 2019, once again proved that it rightfully belongs among the greatest. As Piero Barone, a member of IL VOLO, said in his interview to Index: “We are very happy to have come to Hungary again, and we are sure that the audience will enjoy the evening.”
At the end of the evening, Roland Horváth, director of Koncert Promo, enthusiastically declared: “IL VOLO concerts are always special, but this evening was exceptional. Their music, their voice, their splendor is unique. We are sure that the audience had a unique experience during the concert.” The production, the organizers and the artists concluded the evening satisfied. Budapest will surely remember this special concert for a long time and we hope we won’t have to wait long for the trio’s return!
**IL VOLO’s concert was an evening that music lovers should not miss. Thank you for being with us and being a part of this unforgettable musical experience!**

October 10: Czech Republic: PRAGUE

Our young men always send photographs of the cities where they will have concerts, “tourists by day, singers by night”.
But sometimes, walking around the streets of the old part of the city of PRAGUE, you can have special encounters that make your heart happy, and this is how mum Eleonora and dad Ercole reached their son, to the joy of a happy Gianluca! 😍😍
The concert was held in the beautiful and modern O2 Arena.

O SOLE MIO

VOLARE

GRANDE AMORE

Also in Prague CANZONE PER TE was sung with a good singer from the Czech Republic: Tereza Maskova. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tereza posted this on her Facebook page.
I’m realizing this really happened. 🙈❤️ My childhood dream has come true. 🙏
I’ve been smiling from ear to ear since the morning and remember yesterday’s concert @ilvolomusic I’m watching videos and I still can’t believe it. 😍 I wonder, but was I really next to them? Did I really sing with them? Well, for sure yes.  😁❤️
Thank you so much for this experience it was an honor. ❤️

02 ARENA Prague, published this comment:
The musical group Il Volo presented its long-awaited debut in Prague! We will long remember this wonderful evening full of Italian passion and extraordinary musical experience!  
How did you like the concert?

This instead was published by IREPORT.CZ Musica and Style Magazine, which I translated for you.
Il Volo created a magical atmosphere in the O2 arena, the trio was accompanied by Tereza Mašková.
Il Volo visited the Czech Republic for the first time. The trio, who represented Italy at Eurovision 2015, amazed Prague not only with their singing talent, but also with their spirit. The singers accompanied by the orchestra were not afraid to communicate regularly with the audience, both in English and in their native Italian. At each concert of the Il Volo tour, a selected song is accompanied by a local artist.
For the Prague show they chose Tereza Mašková, who has been a fan of theirs for a long time. Together they sang the song CANZONE PER TE. Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah and Sinatra’s My Way were also performed. The fans rewarded the trio with a standing ovation and incessant applause for the beautiful evening.

Among many concerts and great successes with the public and affection, we are slowly moving towards the last scheduled concert, as the concert in Tel Aviv, as you know, has been postponed for now. 😞🙏
And so here we are at the last European concert.

October 12, LITHUANIA: Kaunas

IL MONDO

MY WAY

CARUSO

MISERERE

A nice summary of some songs.
Standing Ovation 👏🏻

 

In this photo you can see Gianluca, Piero and Ignazio with the journalist Ramunas Zilnys who published the photo with these words:

“It’s nice to meet the Il Volo guys in person after an 8-year break. Beautiful concert in Kaunas tonight / Nice to see Il Volo again (we met at Eurovision 8 years ago). Great concert in Kaunas.”

While Il Volo on its Facebook page thanks all the fans for the love they had during the European concerts, Barbara Vitali publishes this photo which highlights the flights carried out by Il Volo for this tour, remarkable!!

And we are right at the end of the European tour. I would say that Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio can be happy with how this tour went, because the affection of their fans has been reconfirmed.
And now??? What will they do??
Maybe they should rest a little……but no, there is already some news that will make us happy, on October 29th they will be in Mexico for the closing of the Festival Internacional Chihuahua.
And that’s all for now but, as you may have understood, we’ll talk to you soon:
Daniela 🤗

  1. Too bad more fans couldn’t have heard Gianluca sing “Sign of the Times”, while playing his own accompaniment on the piano during the sound check! Such a talented, young man and — he can hit those high notes, too!!!!

    Their Canzone per te with Gabi Toth and Tereza Muscova were superb! I’m sure their countrymen enjoyed every minute of the song!

    Boy! I wish I had the airmiles piled up the way they have, but couldn’t take the jet lag! Love them to bits! Hugs, Dol.

    1. It’s true Dolores, when I saw the video with Gianluca I thought he was very good and that I absolutely had to include him.
      The quartets with other singers are beautiful, I like these fusions.
      I have never been on an airplane, so Dolores, let’s enjoy these videos!!

    1. Irene, Entry is free to Chihuahua, it’s written on the advertising for the event, so I don’t think you need a ticket, but it’s my idea.

  2. Another successful whirlwind tour for our young men. Next they are going to Japan and who knows where else. I hope they get some time off to enjoy their lives. Piero will be running in the New York City Marathon in November. Will anyone go to cheer him on?

      1. Cindi, if you go, I hope you also manage to see Piero and give us some reports.

    1. RoseMarie, I think there will still be many surprises in store for us, for now we only know about Japan, but who knows!

  3. Many thanks, as always, Daniela, Pat and other contributors for the super videos and photos. And it’s wonderful to read the rave reviews from the publications. Tereza’s comments were so cute, and she did a great job, as did Fabi. So, almost 2 weeks off and then Mexico again (unless something else comes up in between)!

    1. Yes Judi, it’s really exciting to read all these nice comments, I think that’s also why our three lovely ones seem so happy.
      Yes Judi, Mexico and let’s pray nothing else happens, there is already so much to pray for!!

  4. Thank you Daniela and Pat for your great coverage of the guys European concerts. It’s fun to be able to watch them all. It was so nice to see the love and reception they received from all the fans. Plus all the great comments from the fans and the press. They certainly deserve it. I wish Piero good luck in the marathon.

    1. Cathy, I agree with you, it was nice to be able to follow them on this tour and see the affection of all those people, and this was not to be taken for granted at all.

  5. Aha! The concert in Mexico is a mere few days before Piero runs in the New York Marathon! So he’ll have his cheering section with him? Seems too good an opportunity to miss to say nothing about being in New York New York the place so nice they named it twice! Now I’m excited and hopeful!💗💗💗

    1. Piero will certainly take the opportunity to stop in New York , Muriel, and it would be really nice if there was someone with him to support him in this marathon. We’ll see how it plays out. Go Piero we will follow you with affection from afar.

  6. Thank you Daniela and Pat for all the videos and photos but especially the translations of those articles! It makes us all so proud to hear them praised by people from all nationalities, they will be true legends in their time!
    Go Piero we’re all routing for you, I’ll be watching the race from Fl.!
    I loved Gian’s song after the warm up, it’s amazing what he can do with his voice! It’s also telling of his wonderful heart that so many of his song choices are about conflict and peace, he’s so sensitive I admire that.
    Be well, stay safe and healthy, Carol 🙏💖💖💖🤍💙💛☮️🎼🎤🦋🥰🥰🥰

    1. Thank you Carol for the nice compliments and I recommend you read the translation of the university lecture given by Piero which will be published in a couple of days, Piero said very nice things.
