Editorial Reviews

On July 7, 1990, a magical night took place in Rome: Jose Carreras, Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti sang together for the very first time in one of the most evocative temples of opera, the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome giving life to the biggest classical music project of the century, The Three Tenors. Twenty-six years later, worldwide platinum selling artists, Il Volo, pay tribute to the event and to the Three Maestri with their new album of a live concert event, Notte Magica A Tribute to The Three Tenors. The concert took place on July 1st at the Piazza Santa Croce, one of the most beautiful plazas in Florence with the famous Teatro Massimo di Palermo orchestra. Il Volo performed some of the most famous Neapolitan songs and arias from the Italian and international operatic repertoire all of which were sung by the original Three Tenors. As a special guest, Maestro Plácido Domingo conducted almost half of the program and joined Il Volo singing the classic Non ti scordar di me. Although Il Volo were not yet born when The Three Tenors first performed, they grew up listening to them, being fascinated and inspired by their voices and legendary achievements. Now, Il Volo deliver this music to a younger audience so they can experience the same emotions from that long ago magical night.

Italian tenor vocal trio Il Volo are one of the biggest names in classical crossover pop worldwide, with a sound that combines traditional opera, pop, and classical symphonic music. Formed in 2009 while the members were all contestants on the reality television vocal competition Ti Lascio una Canzone (Leaving You with a Song), Il Volo feature the talents of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble. Il Volo’s self-titled debut was released in Europe in November 2010 and earned platinum status; it arrived in the U.S. in May 2011, when the group also performed on American Idol. In February 2015 Il Volo won the Sanremo Festival in Italy with the song Grande Amore . After this triumph, the video for Grande Amore went viral with over 66 million views on YouTube up-to-date. Il Volo also represented Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015, achieving a runaway phone-in success and won the Marcel Bezençon Award 2015 from international critics.

THE IL VOLO MYSTIQUE

 

What is it about Il Volo that has taken them to such heights of success….has endeared them to thousands of people world-wide…has impressed musically savvy people with the quality of their voices?  Is it the

“Il Volo Mystique?”

When looking at the meaning of the word “mystique” we find that several of its synonyms apply to these young men.

 

Example #1CHARISMA  There is no doubt that they exude oodles of charisma.

Watching them in concert we  can feel its esoteric power coming across the stage and hitting us full on.  It’s what some have referred to as “love at first sight.”

Example #2-CHARM  Are we charmed by them?  We are absolutely drawn in by their beauty, smiles, sweet expressions, warmth, and of course the magnificent voices.

Examples #3 and 4APPEAL AND ALLURE  These two synonyms both include “the power to attract” and “to captivate.”  How appropriate is that?   Think of the thousands of fans that have been attracted to the various venues like Verona for concerts.  And haven’t we all been captivated by them and happily so?

Example #5  AN AURA surrounding something or someone that makes the person or thing seem very intriguing.  While we love our guys for their honest, down-to-earth ways, we also feel the presence of that special aura that is part of who they are.

We know that they give credit to God for the talent that has taken them on this journey, and there is a spiritual quality to the mission they have set for themselves–a spiritual aspect that has enabled them to make a difference in so many peoples lives.  The combination of the components of humility, naturalness, gratitude and magical allure all together make up 

“The Il Volo Mystique.”

Urgent: Il Volo back to Brazil with Mariah Carey in November

It will not even have time to feel homesick Il Volo ! Just six months after the tour Grande Amore  by country, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble return to Brazil in November to accompany  Mariah Carey  in his  The Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour .

The news was given in the early afternoon of Tuesday (9) the G1 news portal Globo.com. Sought by the report of  LatinPop Brazil , Sony Music, label of the two artists, he said he was “blindsided” by the information.

The site selling the tickets of the Brazilian tour of Mariah Carey already reported that there would be a “special guest” during the passage of the American diva in the country. What no one expected is that this guest, or rather guests, was the Il Volo.

The The Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour has undergone several reviews by the high price of inputs, which can cost up to R $ 2,500 without taxes. Because of this, the demand for tickets has been low.

The tour will go through Curitiba, Porto Alegre and São Paulo, the same cities that have received the trio during their shows here in May. In São Paulo, they will take the stage of the Allianz Park, the multipurpose arena palm trees, house (almost) official of Italian artists in Brazil. Eros Ramazzotti has sung there a few weeks ago and Andrea Bocelli rises at the same stage in October.
