PIERO = What a pleasure it is to be here! We did a show in October, and when we returned to Italy, they called us from Argentina and told us we had to come back, so we came back again. Thank you!
It’s a great honor for us to be here on this world tour because, as you know, we’re celebrating 17 years together, and this is thanks to your support from the very beginning, when the three of us started singing together. Thank you.
GIANLUCA = It’s truly a great honor to be able to bring you the beautiful singing we started singing when we were 14 or 15 years old in 2009.
And this is a dream because we’ve been here at Long Tennis, then Gran Rex, then Luna Park (all places where they’ve held concerts), and now twice at the Movistar Arena. It’s a great honor, a thrill, one of the greatest thrills of our lives, with all our love for Argentina. It’s a pleasure as a person and as an artist, and an honor to sing for all of you. Thank you so much, and have a great concert everyone.

Il Volo brought home to Argentina, Italian music and various artists

The lyrical trio passed through Buenos Aires in the country of its world tour, next in Chile

The Italian operatic trio Il Volo returned to Argentina to continue their 17th anniversary celebration with a sold-out performance at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires, as part of their international “World Tour.” Their show combined a repertoire that included pieces from the “Italian cultural heritage” and tributes to figures such as Ennio Morricone, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Leonard Cohen. In a record-breaking return—less than six months after their last visit—Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble surprised the audience with the first live performance of “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” which unleashed the most intense ovation of the night and concluded with the three singers unfurling the Argentine flag on stage.
Backed by an orchestra of about 30 musicians, the evening began with the Neapolitan classic “O Sole Mio,” immortalized by Luciano Pavarotti, and continued with epic pieces such as “The Gladiator” and “Granada.” Beyond the vocal performance, the audience appreciated the chemistry between the performers and the relaxed tone of the presentation: between songs, the artists exchanged jokes and anecdotes that enlivened the show. “Seventeen years together is longer than many marriages,” joked Boschetto, before pointing out that the key to the group is “respect, loyalty, and, of course, love.” “We love each other very much,” added Ginoble, eliciting a prolonged ovation.
One of the most moving moments was the tribute to Ennio Morricone, including his celebrated theme “Sé” from the film “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso.” The repertoire continued with versions of “My Way” by Frank Sinatra and “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen, a song during which the trio invited the audience to turn on their phone flashlights, completely illuminating the venue. The trio, winners of multiple platinum records and international awards such as the Sanremo Festival, also included in their setlist the famous aria from Rigoletto “La Donna è Mobile,” “Funiculì Funiculà,” a song that brought the entire audience to their feet, and Zucchero’s classic “Miserere.”
In the two-hour recital, the closing was marked by the trio’s characteristic vocal power, performing songs from their album “Ad Astra” such as “Opera” and “Capolavoro”, followed by their hit “Grande amore” and “Il mondo”.
The final farewell came with “Nessun Dorma,” the closing aria from Giacomo Puccini’s opera Turandot, which brought the entire audience to its feet. After their performance in the Argentine capital, Il Volo will continue their international tour on March 27 in San Francisco de Mostazal, Chile, before continuing with a series of shows in various cities across the United States.

Swing Management, the concert organizer, wrote:
“Today wasn’t just a concert… it was an experience you could feel.
Soaring voices, impeccable staging, and an audience that lived up to a simply unforgettable evening. 🙌🏻
From the heart of @granarenamonticello, we experienced a show that reminded us why live music is everything. 🌹Thank you for being part of this magical evening with @ilvolomusic.”
A night that doesn’t explain, if you feel.🌹
@ilvolomusic o llegó al @granarenamonticello y lo convirtió en algo más que un concierto. 🎤🤩 There was emotion from the first note, constant chicken sound and an audience completely entertained by three voices that simply were at another level.
Because there are shows… and there are nights that they want. And this, without doubt, was one of them.

Congratulations, guys, and now a quick trip home to rest before starting the U.S. tour, where you’re eagerly awaited.

  1. Thank you again, Daniela, for sharing your adventure with us. I will be attending their concerts in Columbus, Ohio on 29April and Rosemont, Illinois on 02May. I hope you meet you at one of those shows.

    1. Herzlichen Dank für die schönen Berichte und Videos. Ich freue mich immer über neue Mitteilungen von Dir, liebe Daniela. Allen ein frohes Osterfest. Bis bald zur USA-Tour. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland.

  2. Ganz lieben Dank, Daniela. Ich hatte wieder das Gefühl, dabei zu sein. Du machst das immer wunderbar.
    Ich wünsche euch und allen ein schönes Osterfest.

  3. FANTASTIC, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BUNCH OF CONCERTS!! I think they really love being in So.America almost as much as home! They’re Spanish is as flawless as they’re native Italian…..always a joy to watch and listen too. Welcome home guys!
    Thank you so much for an amazing recounting of this portion of the World Tour, America definitely is eagerly awaiting their arrival, sure wish I could go! Time with family and home for Gian, PIERO and Ignazio!
    Happy Easter and Passover to everyone may all the blessings of these Holy Days be with you all!
    Thanks Daniela and Pat…..
    Love & gratitude, Carol💖💖💖🎼🎹🎤✝️✡️❤️😘🤗🙏🏻☮️

    1. When I saw “,Don’t Cry for me, Argentina” on YouTube, I thought about the work that went into that magnificent production. Other countries in Spanish-speaking America are probably not very interested in the song.
      But they received such a response from the audience, it must have made it worthwhile.
      If they get enough requests, maybe they will use it in concerts in the US.
      Thanks again Daniela and Pat

      1. I thought it was wonderful too, Gail! I hope they will put it in their repertoire–either in English or in Spanish.

  4. Applause, applause for your report on Il Volo’s South American tour. I so agree with everything Carol expressed.
    Resting and then on to the USA. Barb W

  5. Thank you again Daniela for your detailed coverage of the guys concerts so far. It is so nice to have all the information in one place and to know it’s all true and not worry about it being fake. It’s great to see such high praise in the reviews. I wish them a well earned rest before they start out again.

  6. Thank you Daniela. Another lovely post from you guys.
    Time has gone quick, it won’t be long till they are off again.
    Wishing you a Buona Pasqua
    Take care
    Best wishes always Fenella 🫶🐣💐

  7. I agree with Cathy; you do a terrific job of verified reporting, Daniela and Pat! Again, thanks so much!

    It was thrilling to hear their version of Don’t Cry for Me Argentina!! Surely that will be included in their U.S. tour! Also, I hope, Miserere, another of my favorites. They are just awesome! I am looking forward to seeing them in Chicago since they are bypassing my city this time.

    1. I agree with everyone’s comments !
      I think these ladies deserve to be elevated to Saint Il Volo!
      No matter what religion you follow, Saint Il Volo is above all!
      Sending love and peace to all in this crazy world we find us living in! Remember love conquers all 🌹❤️🙏❤️

      1. I’m certainly no “saint” Sheila! But thank you for the nice words. Daniela and I try our best. 😊💕

  8. Great post and thank you for sharing the pictures and videos. They are wonderful!I won’t be able to see their concerts, but I will definitely make sure I see them here on your posts and YouTube. Love them forever. All of those posts on YouTube are fake thanks to you with Gianluca moving to LA and going solo.❤️❤️👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇮🇹🇮🇹❤️❤️
