As you all know, Il Volo is constantly on the move these days, and is consistently leaving this girl in their dust. Makes it a bit more challenging for sure, but as long as they get enough rest and they are still happy with their lives, I wouldn’t wish anything less for them.
Here are a few random items of interest you might have missed.

It’s getting on the chilly side here in St. Louis. I definitely don’t mind taking a trip down south to the warmth! Who’s with me? 😀
Il Volo will be performing as guest stars with Maestro Domingo in June. I, unfortunately, couldn’t get the whole advertisement to save, but it is truly gorgeous! Head over to his website to check out all the details!
It’s no surprise to any of us that Our Guys would be able to hold their spot on any given Music Chart. As of last month, they were hold steady, and Buon Natale is certified Gold! Thanks for the head’s up, AAIV!
I love all their music, you know that. But, I think I’d have to agree. The moment it started to play, the smile on my face grew bigger and bigger and while not exactly, I felt a little like this scene from the movie, “Bring It On”:
(you might want to watch it on mute so as not to break the Il Volo vibes…)
Way to go, Guys!
Dinner and a Movie? Or Something Like That….
What? Why are we still sitting her talking?! I’ll go get our seats and you get the popcorn. Make sure they put some butter in the middle of the bucket…
Wait…I’ll never be able to fit in my gown for the Red Carpet…nix the butter, please!

We know from past experience that Il Volo has always been very well received everywhere they go in Mexico and South America, and that they seem to pick up a little bit of a different energy themselves. This year has not been any exception. Based on tweets and shared pictures, they have been excited about going to Mexico from the jump. They were greeted warmly at the airport before heading to their hotel in Juarez where they did a lot of relaxing, and it seems like they’ve been mixing it up informally with the fans as well.
But there has been a lot of working too, of course, giving the interview from which the above clip was taken and this press conference included:

TRANSLATION (by Athina Angelopoulos): The 10th edition of the International Chihuahua Festival starts today with the opening show by the Italian trio Il Volo whose tenor voices will vibrate the esplanade of the Cultural Center Paso del Norte.
At exactly 8 pm Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, the group members, will interpret their ballads including Italian classics and pop songs in Spanish, English, and Mexican themes.
With free mass events, the activity of the festival will last until 21 August with a series of concerts and theatrical presentations which this year include singers and groups of international stature, as Óscar Chávez, Lila Downs, Millions, Candlebox, and Yuri Buenaventura and the Mexican band Zoé, which will close the stage of the massive events on August 12.
Like every year, the evets will take place at the esplanade of the Cultural Center Paso del Norte, as well as in the theater Victor Hugo Rascon Banda, but also have been prepared some alternate venues as the Auditorium Benito Juarez and some settlements in the west and southeast parts of the city.
TRANSLATION (by Athina Angelopoulos): The time has come. The 10th edition of the International Chihuahua Festival begins tomorrow night with the presentation of the group Il Volo, for the first time in Juarez.
The trio of the Italian singers is in Ciudad Juárez, and with a relaxed and informal attitude, they posed for pictures, sang and flirted in perfect Spanish.
During a press conference that lasted about 17 minutes, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble declared that they had been sleeping since they arrived in the city on Wednesday night and all they know of Ciudad Juarez so far, is the way from El Paso airport to the hotel where they are staying.
The trio expressed their excitement to return to Aztec lands after a year when they performed at the National Auditorium in Mexico City in front of 10 thousand people.
When asked the name of a favorite Mexican song, without hesitation, Ignazio Boschetto started singing ‘Bésame Mucho’ (by Consuelito Velázquez).
“Mexico has been a great country for us, every time we come back is a pleasure and now is an honor for us to sing in the Festival of Chihuahua, here in Juarez.”
Ignazio Takes a Phone Call…???? *hmmmm*; Il Volo Juarez Press Conference; Nomada, Juarez Television Facebook

😀 No, it wasn’t a personal phone call. It seems like the phone belonged to a member of the press, and I’m told by Athina that Piero actually answered the phone, but Ignazio is the one that spoke to the caller. Lucky caller!
Time for Rehersal!
