I would like to share my emotions and feelings after two fantastic Il Volo concerts I was lucky to attend. Of course both concerts ware fabulous, full of great music and heavenly voices. You could see and listen to some songs on my videos, and pics, but some “special” moments I want to describe more.
~ ~ PRAGUE ~ ~
Concert in Prague started with sound check, for me very intimate experience to see how my favourite artists are working, but there was funny moment too. One lady asked Ignazio if Michelle was with him, after Igna answered NO, she started to complain, “because we all are waiting for Ignazio Junior” …. Igna answered with beautiful smile, that he is working very hard on that topic … Our sweetheart will be father soon. 😉 He mentioned this few times during concert too, I think we can count days to hear happiest info from Boschetto family, that Igna and Michelle expecting their first child.
Concert was fantastic, Il Volo started with Gladiator song, Nelle tue mani (Now we are free), then Nessun Dorma. I’m very happy that Ignazio came back to perform Memories, song from Cats, but the best solo, in my opinion, was Music of the Night, song from the Phantom of the Opera, performed by Gianluca. It is true masterpiece. Entire audience was mesmerised by the performance. Standing ovation and a lot of flowers and gifts to Gian. All three received many gifts and flowers, definitely fans in Prague Love Il Volo. Ignazio received plum vodka with short note from fan. The message was for all three guys and Ignazio, of course, made funny jokes with twisting Piero’s and Gianluca’s names.
NELLE TUE MANI
MUSIC OF THE NIGHT
IL MONDO
They sang a few songs from album Tribute to Ennio Morricone and from new album Ad Astra.During Here’s to You they went to the audience and sang with us. During the beautiful Hallelujah we had tears in our eyes, song dedicated to all our beloved ones who are not with us anymore. Entire O2 Arena was shining with flash lights, very touching moment.
SOUND OF SILENCE
OPERA
WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER
Two hours passed by to fast, “suddenly” we heard O Sole Mio and Good night from our Boys…. too soon… of course. They came back for BIS (shouted during performance when we want artist to come back to the stage) with Grande Amore and the magical evening has ended. Emotions did not let me to fall asleep till 4am, but we (me and my friend Maria) experienced another surprise during breakfast. We chose same hotel that our Boys and Il Volo crew…. We didn’t want to interrupt them during eating, but we had the possibility to chat a bit with Gian and Gianpiero Grani in the elevator. Of course we said big thank you for fantastic show, send kisses from entire Polish Fan Club and see you in Berlin.
MEMORIES
GRANDE AMORE
~ ~ BERLIN ~ ~
Sound check in Berlin was more formal, Piero did not feel well already and everybody was focused on adapting the set list to not harm his voice more. We arrived to Berlin with 12 people, with official fan club T-shirts, immediately we were recognized by our Boys. Well, Polish Fans rule!
SOUND OF SILENCE
OPERA
Concert set list was a bit shorter than in Prague, the boys did not go down to the audience (pity), Piero did not sing Tosca, probably too difficult in his condition. But have to admit, Piero is a lion, so strong and uncompromising. As always HE WAS PERFECT with every single note, but after concert he immediately went with Michele to hospital. We were very afraid about our beloved tenor, but John had a call from Michele that problems are under control. Unfortunately Piero did not attend Meet and Greet too.
CAPOLAVORO
NO PUEDE SER
LIBIAMO NE’ LIETI CALICI
GRANDE AMORE – BIS
Well what can I say about M&G… best experience in years, our 12 people team called “Polish mafia” dominated M&G entirely, we have fantastic pics with Ignazio, Gian and John, lot of hugs, kisses and chats. Of course we gave small gifts to our precious singers. By accident we all bought chocolate with vodka (barrels with different type of alcohols by Polish company E. Wedel). When Gian opened another box and saw AGAIN chocolate with vodka he started to laugh and said that we want them to be drunk and fat. In the end we sang for Ignazio “Sto lat” to greet his wedding and birthday … and we went to our hotels singing and smiling. See You in Lodz!

Thank you so much. The variety of music is just wonderful. You are my constant gift. I can hardly thank you enough. Blessings to all of you who contribute to our joy.
J’aie hâte aussi qu’il annonce les dates pour USA et Canada je les ai manqué en 2022 car le concert à été annulé à cause de la Covid… merci pour les vidéos je vous envie d’avoir pu les voies de si près et discuter avec eux WOW
Thank you so very much for sharing your experiences with Il Volo. After seeing them in London, I can picture your meeting with them. I’m sure you are still very excited and on cloud nine!
Alicja, thank you for sharing your wonderful experiences with us. I am so happy for you and your group. I am sure you continue to live on the memories of those evenings with the guys.
Vielen herzlichen Dank für diese schönen Beiträge. Man kommt dadurch der Gruppe noch näher, weil man von Situationen erfährt, von denen man nichts hören würde.
Danke nochmals und liebe Grüße

Alicja, thank you for inviting us to enjoy your experience at our boys concerts in beautiful Prague and in Berlin! I agree with you on Gian’s “new” song, he does do an incredible job with anything he sings but “The Music of the Night” will always stand out as one of his best!
I’m anxiously waiting for the announcement of concerts in the US!
Best to you and you “Polish mafia”!

It is great pleasure to hear and to watch Ignasio, Piero and Gian on the stage. They perform with so much emotion, heart and soul.
Thank you for the music and emotion you share with us, your fans!
Great review! So sorry that Piero was not feeling well but happy that it was not serious. We do worry about them when they are on tour. They are young but not invincible.
Thank you Alicja for this nice report on the concerts you saw in Prague and Berlin, your photos and videos are also very beautiful!!
You are a force of nature and I remember well when I saw you in Verona, you were screaming with your flag in your hand, it was impossible not to notice you!! 😂🤣
And I know you are at the Lodz concert right now, how lucky!!
A big hug, we hope to see you again in Verona!!🥰
je vais enfin pouvoir aller voir les gars à Paris le 31 octobre pour cette nouvelle tournée mondiale. En raison de la crise sanitaire de 2021 la date Parisienne à été reportée.Je sais que ça va être un grand moment car je suis les tous les concerts sur YT .Néanmoins j’ai un doute….La très grande complicité entre Piero et Ignazio me semble devenue froide depuis quelques temps et Gianluca fait tout ce qu’il peut pour que celà passe inaperçu ! Il va d’un à l’autre mais semble mal à l’aise de la situation.Ce serait dramatique car ces deux là étaient visiblement inséparables et très complices.Espérons que celà n’est qu’une mauvaise impression.
