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.

Il Volo, or “When Opera Meets Pop and Rock”

The Italian trio is preparing to make their debut in Brazil for the ninth time.
When Luciano Pavarotti (1935–2007), Plácido Domingo, and José Carreras gathered at the Baths of Caracalla (Rome) under the baton of Zubin Mehta during the 1990 World Cup, they could never have imagined they would forever change the classical music market. “The Three Tenors,” a collection of opera excerpts and folk songs, sold fifteen million copies worldwide and created a new market segment: pop classical music. From tenor Andrea Bocelli to guitarist André Rieu, countless instrumentalists, singers, and vocal groups emerged, translating concert hall works for those who had never before frequented these venues.
Il Volo, composed of tenors Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto and baritone Gianluca Ginoble, belongs to this category. Having emerged in 2009 during a music competition at the Sanremo Music Festival, they have developed a career that blends bel canto with popular music. The trio was brought together by the production and performed a version of “O Sole Mio.” “When we met on that Italian TV show, we shared this musical genre because we both sang. But we only listened; we couldn’t tell Pavarotti from Bocelli,” the members say.
The trio arrives in Brazil this week for a series of concerts in Curitiba and São Paulo (see details below). It will be their ninth visit to the country.
“When we first came, we were thrilled with the audience’s response and decided to always include Brazil in our world tours,” they say. There is, indeed, also a spiritual reason for this adoration. “The composers of that period [Puccini, for example] felt that the music they created brought them closer to God,” they say. “It’s more than commercial music; it’s something very spiritual, eternal. Because it awakens that spiritual dimension within us, which we sometimes hide because we’re distracted by so many things. That’s why I think this type of music is very powerful around the world, even if people and audiences don’t understand a word we say, because it awakens something very deep within us,” they conclude.
But what about the domestic audience? “Brazil is one of the countries that most appreciates bel canto. Also because there are many Italians and people of Italian descent. And there’s a strong bond between Italians and Brazilians,” they reply. “And then there’s the greatest Brazilian artist, Roberto Carlos, who came to the Sanremo Festival many years ago and became very popular in Italy too. So, there’s this mutual exchange. We’re a family.”
Il Volo’s Songs
One of Il Volo’s strengths lies in the diversity of their repertoire. For example, they have an album dedicated to the compositions of Ennio Morricone (1928-2020), the composer and conductor responsible for some of the most iconic soundtracks in film history. Morricone, believe it or not, was snubbed by many classical composers because he was considered a “minor creator” (there’s a prejudice against soundtracks). “They didn’t accept Morricone because they were tied to the dogmas of composition, you know? How can we simply not accept a musician like Ennio Morricone just because he represents an evolution of classical music? His creations have the beauty of some of Puccini’s operas,” they say, referring to the composer of operas such as “Tosca” and “Turandot.” “Morricone represents the perfect evolution of this musical genre and fully embodies Italy, just like us. We are not just opera singers, but we want to represent the beauty of our culture through our voices, performing works by Morricone, Puccini, and many other classics.”
Il Volo, of course, isn’t The Three Tenors. One of the young men has a different vocal range. But they share the same mission: to make opera accessible to a non-specialist audience. “This is our goal. We know, and are fully aware, that most people have never been to the theater to see an opera. Listening to opera isn’t easy, and we don’t listen to it every day,” they explain.
Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca have been together since adolescence. What’s it like growing up in the entertainment world and putting up with each other for so long? “The key word is respect. If you respect people and your colleagues, you can stay together for life. We haven’t just worked on the music and the artistic side, but we’ve always dedicated ourselves to our relationship,” they reply. “Being a group is like being married: we’re together and live together for years, and we spend most of our time together. Music has to be the priority.”
Respect and love for music create a unique blend, ranging from opera arias to reinterpretations of Queen’s “Who Wants to Live Forever.” Il Volo proves that opera can be enjoyed by everyone.

Another surprise was to sing the beautiful song CUERPO SIN ALMA, the Spanish version of the beautiful song BELLA SENZ’ANIMA by the talented Italian singer-songwriter Riccardo Cocciante, and special guest to sing it with Il Volo the very famous actor – singer in Mexico: CARLOS RIVERA.

In an interview, Ignazio said:
“The collaboration with Carlos Rivera began a few months ago, perhaps over a year ago, through a friendship. We met him; he’s a great person as well as a great artist. One idea led to another, and we decided to pay homage to the great Riccardo Cocciante because his song “BELLA SENZ’ANIMA” was a hit all over the world, especially here in Latin America, so we decided to sing it together.”
Carlos Rivera stated:
“I admire all you, my friends; I love you and respect you. Thank you for inviting me to sing with you; it’s a true honor.”
And then the lovely surprise of the song sung with the Mariachis!! Wonderful, I love this way of remembering the traditions of other cultures.

Between love, faith, and the emotional return of Il Volo to Mexico.

Upon their return to the National Auditorium, the group spoke to us about music, chivalry, and their new artistic phase.
The Italian group Il Volo has visited Mexico approximately six times over the years, performing concerts there. With a solid and even innovative career, they met in 2009 on an Italian television program, when they were teenagers, aged 14 and 16. During their visit to Mexico City, they revealed details about their careers and current lives.
In their early youth, they made an unpopular decision for a young career: singing operatic pop. Their three voices, composed of a lyric tenor, a baritone, and a lyric spinto tenor, created operatic melodies and numerous sold-out shows around the world, including at the National Auditorium in Mexico City on March 3, 2026.
How do they feel loved in a relationship?
With love as his musical torch, Gianluca Ginoble confessed that feeling heard is how he experiences love within a relationship.
I believe the key to a good relationship is to listen more than to speak, and to say only the right things. Feeling heard and understood is probably what makes me feel most loved.
                                            Gianluca Ginoble
For his part, Ignazio Boschetto, when asked what the key is to being a gentleman, said that he tries to be one in his daily life.
It’s like I need to show affection, and yeah, that’s not something you can teach, you have to feel it a little.
                                                  Ignazio Boschetto
Nearly two decades of love songs
Seventeen years after first singing “O Sole Mio” as a group, Piero Barone explained that when Il Volo started, they were too young to decide which repertoire to perform. Over time, this dynamic has changed.
When we started, there were people telling us what to sing, because we were too young to understand what to sing.
                                              Piero Barone 
Today, he said, the group steps on stage fully aware of their artistic identity and the type of music they want to share with the audience. They know what the audience expects, which allows them to enjoy each concert with greater maturity and connection, without losing the emotion that has characterized them from the beginning.
Music and divinity.
Gianluca spoke of music as a spiritual awakening, arguing that since the beginning of humanity, we have needed music to connect with God. He explained that opera, by Italian composers like Puccini, was born with the purpose of going beyond simple entertainment.
He emphasized that, while popular music is also important, the repertoire performed by Il Volo, rooted in the Italian tradition, allows us to touch deeper chords and approach something absolute and transcendent.
The music we sing, the music born in Italy, allows us to come into contact with the highest part of ourselves, with the absolute, which is God.
Gianluca Ginoble
At this stage of their career, he assured, the group seeks to evolve artistically and personally, to go beyond the great classics with which they began and explore new and deeper compositions that reflect their maturity as performers and as individuals.
                                             **************************
Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca also had fun pronouncing difficult Spanish words!!

Il Volo triumphs in Mexico with guest Carlos Rivera
The Italian trio celebrates their career by singing with mariachis.
The celebrated Italian vocal trio Il Volo—composed of Gianluca Ginoble, Ignazio Boschetto, and Piero Barone—lit up the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City.
With this concert, the three artists inaugurated their new series of international performances, celebrating an important professional milestone.
“Good evening. How thrilling to see you again after three years. It’s an honor for us to return to Mexico. We’re celebrating seventeen years, and much of it is thanks to you,” the performers exclaimed from the stage, delighting the crowd with timeless classics like ‘O sole mio’ and ‘La donna è mobile’.
The event also provided unique moments thanks to the presence of Mexican singer-songwriter Carlos Rivera, who duetted with the trio on the song ‘Cuerpo sin alma’. After singing some traditional hits accompanied by local mariachis, the singers concluded the show with a moving rendition of the Alleluia, dedicated to the victims of conflict: “We want to dedicate it to those who live in parts of the world where unfortunately peace is lacking, so that the voice may reach all those who travel with God.”

The article above, written by INFORMADOR.MX, is very interesting. I’ll translate it for you:
IL VOLO EXPERIENCES A GREAT LOVE IN GUADALAJARA
Between opera and Mexican classics, Il Volo enchants Guadalajara
The group returned to perform for the fourth time in Mexico and also celebrated their 17-year career.
The lights at the Guadalajara Arena dimmed shortly after 9 p.m., and the audience’s anticipation turned into an immediate standing ovation when three figures took the stage. Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone, and Ignazio Boschetto, members of the Italian trio Il Volo, returned to Guadalajara to reunite with their Mexican fans as part of their world tour, “Live in Concert! 2026,” an evening where operatic pop, opera, and popular classics coexisted for nearly two hours.
After a three-year absence from the country, the group returned to perform in Mexico for the fourth time, celebrating their 17-year career. Their artistic journey was reflected in a repertoire that combined iconic songs with intimate moments and references to Mexican musical culture.
The concert began around 9:20 PM, when the trio entered to applause and cheers from the audience. Dressed in elegant black suits and accompanied by an orchestra of approximately thirty musicians—including wind instruments, piano, and percussion—the singers opened the evening with “Grande Amore” and “Opera,” inaugurating a show that alternated solemn moments with moments of intimacy and humor.
Before continuing with their repertoire, the artists took the microphone to greet those in attendance and express their excitement at their return to Guadalajara.
“Good evening, Guadalajara. Mexico is very special to us. And especially this year, which we started a couple of days ago in Mexico City and now here in Guadalajara, we are celebrating our 17th anniversary together. Thank you so much for your support since the first day we started singing. Thank you for all the love you’ve shown us throughout this time. Tonight will be a celebration,” they said to the audience, who responded with a standing ovation.
The evening continued with “Granada,” the famous song by Mexican composer Agustín Lara, performed with such intensity that it created one of the first emotional moments of the evening. The excitement grew even further when the singers performed “Cielito Lindo,” sung by thousands of voices in the Guadalajara Arena.
During the concert, Il Volo explored the different styles that have marked their artistic career. They performed classics such as “O Sole Mio,” “La Donna E’ Mobile,” and “The Winner Takes It All,” alongside contemporary interpretations that demonstrated the trio’s vocal versatility.
Between songs, the singers shared anecdotes and reflections with the audience. At one point, they spoke about the importance of personal relationships and affection.
“It’s important to take care of ourselves. We want to remind the younger generations, especially, that the most precious thing a person can have is someone who truly loves them,” they commented briefly.
The atmosphere also left room for humor. Between jokes and pranks, the artists discussed the private life of Ignazio Boschetto, who recently became a father. The singer himself, laughing, commented that he didn’t necessarily recommend that experience, sparking laughter from the audience.
The concert featured individual performances by each member. During his solo set, Gianluca Ginoble paid tribute to Elvis Presley, whom he described as an irreplaceable figure in music history.
“His genius was too powerful to be tamed, too bright. Today, Elvis is no longer with us, but his powerful music remains, and we must be ready to welcome it,” he said before performing “Suspicious Minds.”
The energy intensified again with “La donna è mobile,” one of the recital’s most famous songs. This was followed by songs such as the main theme from Cinema Paradiso and “My Way,” popularized by Frank Sinatra.
One of the most moving moments occurred when the trio invited the audience to turn on their cell phone lights.
“We want to dedicate this next song to those who are not with us. Turn on your cell phone lights to join us,” they said before performing “Hallelujah,” creating an intimate atmosphere amidst thousands of lights.
They then performed “Miserere,” a song they explained marked the beginning of their musical genre. Shortly afterward, they invited singer Maura Nava, a Mexican composer living in Miami, on stage, with whom they performed “Constantemente mía,” adding a Latin touch to the show.
Arena Guadalajara  posted this short reel with these words:

STILL FAKE NEWS by Daniela

Unfortunately, fake news continues to rage in the world of Il Volo.

On February 23rd, the website NEWS.1 CHALLENGE published this post. The news is FALSE, and we don’t know if the website was the first to publish it or if it copied the news from another publication, believing it to be true.

The Harmony of a Decade: Il Volo Secures a Landmark $10 Million Netflix Deal. ws
The Harmony of a Decade: Il Volo Secures a Landmark $10 Million Netflix Deal
The world of operatic pop is currently echoing with the resonance of a massive industry shift as the iconic Italian trio, Il Volo, officially signs a historic $10 million deal with Netflix.
This 7-episode limited series is poised to be more than just a musical retrospective; it is a high-stakes deep dive into the hearts and voices of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble.
For a group that has spent nearly two decades defying the boundaries of genre, this partnership represents the ultimate validation of their influence on global music culture.
From the cobblestone streets of Italy to the bright lights of the world’s most prestigious stages, the series promises to capture the raw essence of the “Bel Canto” tradition reborn for a digital age.
The landmark $10 million partnership between Netflix and Il Volo marks a transformative moment for the classical crossover genre, signaling a new era where high-art vocals meet mainstream  streaming dominance.
This unprecedented deal underscores the streaming giant’s commitment to diverse, high-quality cultural storytelling, recognizing that the trio’s appeal transcends borders and languages.
By investing such a significant sum into a 7-episode format, Netflix is betting on the enduring fascination with the “three voices” that have consistently sold out stadiums from Tokyo to New York.
The series is expected to utilize a cinematic lens to frame their career not just as a succession of concerts, but as a monumental movement that brought the sophistication of Italian opera into the living rooms of millions.
Chronicling the meteoric rise of three teenage boys from the competitive stage of Italian television to the pinnacle of global stardom, the series will explore the origins of a phenomenon that few saw coming.
When Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca first appeared on Ti lascio una canzone in 2009, they were individual soloists with immense potential, but the decision to unite them into a trio sparked a musical wildfire
The documentary will trace those early, formative years, highlighting the sheer vocal power that initially shocked judges and audiences alike.
It will navigate the transition from being “teenage sensations” to becoming seasoned professionals who had to carry the weight of a centuries-old musical heritage on their young shoulders, all while navigating the complexities of the modern music industry.

Il Volo has single-handedly bridged the gap between traditional Italian “Bel Canto” and contemporary pop, a feat that will be a central pillar of the documentary’s narrative arc.
The trio didn’t just sing old songs; they revitalized them, stripping away the perceived “stiffness” of classical music and replacing it with raw passion and sophisticated charm.
This series will delve into the technical mastery required to maintain such vocal excellence over thousands of performances.
It aims to explain how their “operatic pop” style became a universal language, proving that the human voice, when trained to its peak, possesses a power that needs no translation to stir the soul of a listener halfway across the globe.
Beyond the technical brilliance of their harmonies lies a profound story of brotherhood and the unique challenges of coming of age under the intense scrutiny of the international spotlight.
While the world sees three polished gentlemen in tailored suits, the Netflix series promises an intimate portrait of the men behind the tuxedos.
The narrative will explore the friction, the laughter, and the shared sacrifices that come with growing up in the public eye.
Maintaining a partnership for over fifteen years is a feat in itself, and the show will provide a rare look at how their bond evolved from colleagues to brothers, revealing the “relentless spirit” that kept them united through grueling world tours and the pressures of fame.
The inclusion of never-before-seen archival footage and deeply personal interviews promises to peel back the curtain on the private struggles and triumphs that have defined their artistic journey.
Fans who have followed Il Volo since their inception will finally gain access to the “unseen” moments—the backstage nerves, the quiet reflections in hotel rooms, and the rigorous rehearsals that precede every standing ovation.
This project isn’t merely a highlight reel; it is an honest reflection on the challenges of artistic growth.
By featuring exclusive commentary from the trio themselves, the series will allow the artists to reclaim their own narrative, offering a candid look at the heights of their success and the personal costs of a life lived on the road.
With a career defined by sold-out stadiums and a relentless dedication to vocal perfection, the trio has solidified their position as a towering force whose influence echoes across every continent.
The series will highlight their global footprint, from their historic performance at the ruins of Pompeii to their emotional tribute to Ennio Morricone.
It will document how they became ambassadors of Italian culture, carrying the torch of “Made in Italy” to the farthest reaches of the earth.
Their success isn’t just measured in album sales or Grammy nominations, but in the way they have inspired a younger generation to appreciate the timeless beauty of the human voice, proving that classical roots can indeed produce the most vibrant modern flowers.
As the world prepares for the premiere next year, this limited series stands as a definitive tribute to the enduring power of music and the three voices that taught a generation to dream
The anticipation surrounding this project is already reaching a fever pitch, with fans and critics alike eager to see how the “Il Volo” story will be immortalized on screen.
It is more than a documentary; it is a celebration of the human spirit’s ability to connect through melody.
When the series finally debuts, it will undoubtedly remind us why these three men remain at the forefront of the music world—as artists who didn’t just follow the trends, but instead chose to sing a timeless truth that continues to captivate millions.
I have to say this article is really well written, but the news about Il Volo’s deal with Netflix is FALSE.
A couple of days ago, when my dear friend Judith sent me this article, I was truly shocked to read it. The news had a vague sense of being fake, but the article was actually very good.
I then tried to send the article to the Il Volo staff to clarify the veracity of the news, and they responded that it was ENTIRELY FALSE!!!!
I also find it very strange that such a well-written and detailed article, with so many compliments to our guys, is the work of a fake news writer, and I’ve come to believe that whoever wrote it is a fan of Il Volo but stumbled upon FAKE NEWS.
Once again, I urge you: don’t listen to anyone claiming to be Gianluca, Ignazio, and Piero.
Buy concert tickets only from official websites.
See you soon: Daniela 🤗
