Hello folks!
I’ve been getting a lot of questions on this from our US and Canadian fans. This is what I know….
-
Detroit PBS will NOT be live streaming their concert. There will be a “special pledge event” that is scheduled for 11:00pm EST in Detroit on June 5, and again on Sunday. I am sure this will be their hurried cut take of the concert. Unfortunately, I don’t believe anyone else in the country will be able to view it.
-
I’ve been told by a few folks that have called their local PBS stations regarding this concert that you will need to call your local PBS station and request that they buy this special event program from Detroit PBS.
-
Others have also said that their station has told them there may be a pledge event some time in December, where you may be able to see it in your area.
-
Personally, I’m hoping it will again appear on Amazon at some point. Their last Matera concert was available with both CD/DVD for around $25 or so on Amazon until recently and I directed a few folks to its purchase, earlier this year.

I also just found this nice little article that confirms that we should be able to watch it on the first link I have above: Il Volo canta inno di Mameli, Rai 1, 2 giugno 2021, tv, diretta- Soundsblog — “You will be able to follow both events on TV and streaming on the Raiplay.it”
-
I’ve read the scheduled time is about 9:15p Italy time, so whatever that translates for everyone…. Italy is 6 hours ahead of Detroit time…. so we plan on tuning in no later than about 3p…..
So, folks – this is it – what we’ve been waiting for, for a long time! I’m planning a little party with some of the Il Volo girls here on Saturday to watch the concert. 🙂
Congratulations to those that will be able to be there in person – Daniela, Deborah, and many others! I’m sure they will convey the spirit of all of the Ilvololovers and Flight Crew Fans, from all over the globe! I told them to wave – we will be watching! 🙂
