What elegance, Gianluca.❤️
Some shots of the beautiful evening.
At one point the boys wore the red hockey jerseys of the Hockey team: LAVAL ROCKET, with their names and “10” (for 10 years) on the back: GIANLUCA, IGNAZIO PIERO, really beautiful !! 😁😁😁
What can I say, it was a beautiful evening. Il Volo in great shape, wonderful voices.
Laval’s audience appreciated the performances of Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca whom they thank with affection.
Ok folks! First, thank you to everyone that sent in things to the new email address! We got a few of you letting us know where you’ll be, but I know there is a lot more of you out there! Here is the info for the first 3 US concerts:
MASHANTUCKET, CT – FEB 1 Joanne Wolff
BOSTON, MA – FEB 3 Julie Bernache Anne Marie Prior and cousin Roxanne Pappas
NEW YORK – FEB 6 Leslie Kinn Rose Marie Paliobeis
Ok, I’m sure there are more of you going to New York, because it is sold out!! So, please respond on this post if you want to meet up with any other Flight Crew fans. It is up to you to make arrangements, etc.
Several have asked about Vegas. There is no “official” Fan Faire this time, although Jeannette Giglio has arranged and reserved dinner for a group of about 50 at the Palms restaurant, The Lucky Penny for dinner before the concert. They will allow seating, starting at 3:30p. I believe concert is at 8p. If you are interested in attending, please email Jeannette at: IlVolotour2019@mail.com, so she can keep track of the number for the reservation.
And speaking of Vegas…. I will be travelling from MI alone, to Vegas. I will arrive Fri night and going home on the red eye on Monday. 🙁 I have booked Fri/Sat at the Jockey Suites, which is next to the Bellagio, right on the strip, and Sunday at the Palms.Rooms for Fri/Sat are a tad over $400 for both nights and they are currently sold out. SO, if there is anyone thinking about going at the last minute and is looking for a room, please let me know by emailing me at the Flight Crew email below, as I’d be happy to have a roomie to share the cost! 🙂 I upgraded at the Palms for a Studio Suite. Both hotel rooms have a full kitchenette. The Palms is totally non-smoking in the Palms Place.
SOUNDCHECKS!
Ok, for those of you that are fan club members, we got a surprise email today stating they would be doing soundchecks in the US on this tour! I tried to go in there and it just took me to the renewal site and I couldn’t get much anywhere else that said anything about the soundcheck for Mashantucket? So, it still remains a mystery!!
That’s all for now….. Again, our new email address is: IlVoloFlightCrew@gmail.com 🙂
Toronto, concert No. 1 of IL VOLO WORLD TOUR 2020, it was a success, but let’s go in order.
Let’s start with this beautiful message made by Piero in the afternoon before the concert.
IL VOLO World Tour 2020
I can assure you that I have not yet got used to the idea of doing concerts around the world. In fact, every new tour I relive it as if it were our first live performance. Adrenaline, enthusiasm and even a pinch of anxiety are always the same!
Today we kick off a new American “coast to coast” tour. We start from Toronto which was one of our first stops ten years ago.
So friends, fans, and to those who will see us for the first time live, get ready because we are all going to meet again in this crazy adventure.
The stage awaits us, so let’s sing all together.
Piero
Really sweet Piero. ❤️
But here we are on the evening of the concert. The photos and videos that have come to us are beautiful, many people full of enthusiasm.
Thanks also to Eleonora Ginoble who made some excellent shots.
Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, elegant and in excellent shape, have bewitched all the audience who have reacted with such affection.
Even the master Grani came to accompany them !!
But let’s see some amateur videos.

More photos
And here are the first impressions of Penina Honig, who was present at the concert.
The first concert is now over. It was a smashing success played to a packed house. I am traveling today and doubt if I will have the time to write a full report but I will say here that there were NO Italian solos with the exception of No Puede Ser. Ignazio sang Memories and Tonight and Gian sang Bridge Over Troubled Waters and She’s Always a Woman.
Piero’s other solo was Love Story. While those are beautiful it was disappointing not to hear the two we were all hoping to hear, namely Mi Mancherai and Almeno Tu Nell’universo.The only song from Musica they sang was Musica Che Resta. It was a beautiful concert, the guys were full of energy, Iganzio was at his funniest, Piero had some silly moments and the crowd loved every minute.
Gotta run! If I have time I write a better article and send it to the new address.
I didn’t meet anyone although I did bump into Loretta in the hallway on the way home.
It seems to me that it was a great success!
I went through the photos of the Meet & Greet, I don’t know all of you personally, but some do, and I’m sure this is Loretta Foley with her son. Well Loretta, once again you managed to take the photo close to the boys and close to Ignazio! 😄
It was a very beautiful event!!
Grazie mille, Penina, for your report.
Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca, you are fantastic, your voices never disappoint.
And now go fast for the second stage of the tour: LAVAL.
We have been getting many emails to the “Contact Us” email account at “ilvoloflightcrw@outlook.com” but we have been unable to answer many of the questions and we felt bad about that. Julie, Sandi, and Angie have done their best at trying to monitor that account. Thank you, ladies!! 🙂
The Outlook account will be disabled shortly. Please do not send any emails to that address.
I went in and answered anything from 2019, but anything beyond that, was deleted.
So, we made a NEW GMAIL ACCOUNT!
It is ilvoloflightcrew@gmail.com (notice we added the “e” in crew!)
We think this will be easier for everyone to send in their questions, etc. and will be easier for us administrators to answer your questions as well!
Several have asked about the Flight Crew Badge and that the link is broken. Kelly is looking into this.
Also, many are asking who is going where? Yes, Marie was the pro at this! We will do our best, so everyone can meet who they want to meet! Please send “where you will be” to the NEW GMAIL account email. Please put in the subject line the cities you will be attending.
Also, as you’ve noticed, we haven’t been able to update the calendar on the side like we had in the past. We have been having technical issues with the new Word Press site. We are also working on this.
Please bear with us.We truly thank you for being devoted fans and followers of this blog site. I think we are the only active one left!
Right now, it is mainly just Pat, Daniela, Kelly, and myself who are trying to run this site. If there is anyone out there that EVER wants to write, find an article, write a poem, etc., please send it to the NEW GMAIL account.
We will try to read the account about once a week. Please also use that email account to send in all of your pictures, stories, etc. from all of the upcoming “Best of 10 Years” concerts, from the US, as well as those in other countries, the rest of this year! They are going to be really tired guys by the time December hits!
Grazie mille a tutti!
Any questions, please respond to this post, or send to the NEW EMAIL account – (here is link) ilvoloflightcrew@gmail.com
That’s right, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca: IL VOLO, are leaving for the tour and their destination is AMERICA !!!!
Finally the long-awaited time has arrived, a few more days and they will perform in their first stop in Toronto and then there will be a continuous succession of concerts in different cities.
I think I interpret that the patience of the long wait has left you, and a frenzied agitation has taken over that leads to joy, to finally be able to see them live and to be able to have the emotion of a whole concert with them.
Do you have your tickets ready ??
Please dear friends, to communicate your wishes, write me the date and the city of the concert where you will go and let me know the three absolutely favorite songs of all, which you would certainly like to listen to (they can also be solos). Pat will be able to make a list and ranking of favorite songs.
It will be interesting to find out what you would like to hear.
Are you all ready to dance and sing with Il Volo?
Are you ready for a shot, a warm hug, a sweet kiss, or to make a tug of ears at these tender brats?
How about a hug like this from Piero ???? It would be magnificent!
In this article by Antonella Esposito, the start of the new tour is announced, I translate for you:
The celebrations for the first 10 years of Il Volo’s career continue. The trio that bewitched the world, setting record sales and sell outs, from January 2020 will be engaged in a series of live events. It starts with the “North American Tour”. From 28 January to March the Il Volo boys will perform in the most important symbolic places of world music.
Touching sacred temples of art, such as the Radio City Music Hall in New York, (February 6th) Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca will delight the ears and hearts of a multigenerational audience that for a decade now has been following them with affection and admiration. In June and July it will be the turn of Germany and Poland with the addition of new stages to a calendar full of commitments. Summer will mark the return of the group to Italy, with two dates in Verona in August and two dates in September in Taormina.
November and December will sign a really important tour which today has 37 dates, without excluding any additions. Turin, then Milan, to end in the capital on December 4th. A riot of live events not to be missed. Everything is ready for the first stop, on January 28th, in Toronto, from the prestigious Meridian Hall, the guys from Il Volo will perform for the Canadian public. Fasten your seat belts, let’s go. The journey of Il Volo begins, the most important one, the Best of, proud banner of a journey that began 10 years ago and which still today tells credible stories of sacrifice, passion and gratification.
By the way, have you all heard of the beautiful IL VOLO FAN FAIRE DINNER that Jeannette Giglio is organizing for March 15th at The Palms Casino Resortin Las Vegas??
It will be a beautiful event and there will be an opportunity for you fans to get to know each other personally and maybe even some surprises !!
I have another request for you.
For those who go to a concert, please write your impressions, for better or for worse, even a few lines, which we will then publish and it will be interesting to read the differences between one concert and another.
Also tell us about the fans you met at the various concerts.
So Piero Ignazio and Gianluca are closing their bags, in a few hours they will leave.
Are you all ready for your concerts?
It will be awesome!!
I await your comments.
Daniela
