Dear friends,
We’re happy to share with you some special moments from Il Volo’s excellent concert yesterday, December 16, at the Teatro di Natale.
They managed to create a special, magical atmosphere in a literally sold-out venue and show their love to their Greek fans! 🥰 We hope to see you all again soon!
We wish you Happy Holidays! 🎄🌟🎄✨
This video of thanks to Athens published by Il Volo is also very beautiful.
IGNAZIO= All three of us are a fundamental part, so if one isn’t here, there’s no one!
GIANLUCA= The promise we’ve always made to each other is to know how to listen to each other, which is actually the most important thing. After all these years, it’s almost rare for groups to have such a long lifespan in music, but perhaps the secret is putting egos aside and knowing how to listen to others, understanding that unity truly is strength.

Il Volo triumphs in Zurich: a memorable concert at the Hallenstadion and the announcement of their new 2026-2027 world tour.
The Hallenstadion provided the backdrop for an intense evening where the audience attentively followed a musical journey through opera, pop, and Italian and international songs, presented with elegance and stylistic coherence.
One of the evening’s highlights was the announcement of their new world tour, announced directly from the stage. Il Volo will return to Zurich on October 24, 2027, at 8:00 PM, again at the Hallenstadion, for a new date included in their 2027 tour. Tickets are not yet available, but Tuttoitalia, as official media partner, will provide timely updates on the opening of pre-sales.
The official photos of the performance, taken by our photographer Luca Greco, are available here in a dedicated gallery that documents the evening’s atmosphere in detail:
From their television origins to the international scene
The story of Il Volo began in 2009 during the program “Ti lascio una canzone,” where the three young artists stood out for their vocal quality and were subsequently professionally supported by manager Michele Torpedine. Their debut album, “Il Volo,” was well received in the United States and entered the Billboard Top Ten, launching a career studded with global tours, prestigious collaborations with artists such as Barbra Streisand and Placido Domingo, a triumph at the Sanremo Music Festival, and international recognition such as the Marcel Besançon Award at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest.
An ever-evolving musical identity
Over the years, the trio has developed an artistic vision that blends Italian opera tradition with elements of contemporary pop. From projects dedicated to the Three Tenors to tributes to Ennio Morricone, to more recent productions such as Ad Astra International Edition and the single “Tra le onde,” Il Volo continues to evolve without straying from its distinctive style.
The new world tour and the return to Zurich
Yesterday’s concert offered a preview of the atmosphere and artistic direction of the announced tour. The date of October 24, 2027 in Zurich will be the next official date with the Swiss public and is part of a particularly extensive tour spanning Europe, the United States, and Latin America.
At the Zurich concert there was also a very special fan, little Gabriele with his mother Michelle, who came to see his father Ignazio for the first time.❤️💙
In this video during rehearsals, Gabriele is in Ignazio’s arms and with his uncles Piero who compliments him and Gianluca who records everything on video!! 😍😍😍
How sweet, but you will feel even more tender seeing these beautiful photos of Gabriele, mom and dad. 💙❤️❤️
Congratulations to Ignazio and Michelle for this beautiful “masterpiece,” and congratulations to Il Volo for this wonderful tour that’s stopping in many European cities.
December 14 Lisbon
The concert was held at the Meo Arena.
But the next concert is in Portugal, so from Spain to Switzerland and then back through Portugal, then Greece and back to Spain. How do they do it???? In fact, they themselves posted a photo showing them flying on a small private plane.
In the meantime, 15 outdoor concerts have been announced in Italy this summer and my Brescia has also been confirmed and of course I already have the ticket, second row!!
More European concert dates have been announced for 2027……wow guys, what a tour de force you’re in for!!
Another piece of news is that on December 13th here in Italy on Canale 5 the first concert of Mantua 2025 was re-broadcast and for the next two Saturdays we will see the second and third TUTTI PER UNO concerts held in Mantua this year, so a good television binge of Il Volo!!
But the beauty is that wherever you go, you’re eagerly awaited and cheered, and this fills all of us who’ve always followed you with pride, as well as the new fans just getting to know you.
Full steam ahead!!
See you soon for the final three concerts and best wishes for Christmas!
Prestige MJM who promoted the concert wrote as follows: “Great voices, timeless music and a fantastic atmosphere – all this was filled in Atlas Arena at tród ponad at the concert of the Italian trio Il Volo 🙌😍
Wonderfully harmonious sounds and wonderful arrangements touched the hearts of the assembled audience. ❤️
This was Il Volo’s sixth concert in Poland. 🇵🇱
On stage the singers were accompanied by the incomparable Orkiestra Akademii Beethovenowskiej. 🎼”
29 October PORTUGAL
The concert was held in LISBON in the Aula Magna.
It is the first time that Il Volo performs in Portugal.
NELLE TUE MANI
Piero introduces their Portuguese translator: Ignazio! Ignazio says he hasn’t spoken Portuguese for a long time, and his Portuguese is more Brazilian Carioca. Well done Ignazio, who still conquers the Portuguese public! 🥰
A moment from the presentation of the song SE by Morricone. The speech between Piero and Ignazio was hilarious and I don’t understand it but from the laughter and applause it must have been very much appreciated by the audience!! 😂
LA DONNA È MOBILE (great applause and the final hug of a sweet grandmother)
I can say that Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca have entered the hearts of Portugal fans. Great empathy, great applause, great affection, great love!! 🥰
The Orquestra Pop Portuguesa that accompanied Il Volo published these beautiful words:
Accompanying Il Volo means being sure that we will participate in an unforgettable show. There were about 25 songs, 2 hours of show, 3 singers whose performance received an enthusiastic standing ovation at the end of each song. Unconditional characters who demonstrate enormous affection for Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, who interact with the audience in an excellent way, taking advantage of the fact that Ignazio speaks sweet Portuguese with the Brazilian Carioca accent as he says. Il Volo also introduced us to the engaging and fascinating voice of Cecille, a student of Andrea Bocelli, who ended her performance in tears, such was the emotion and dedication in her performance.
They make us all enjoy with their art and with each song the feelings come to the fore: we dream, we sing, we dance, we laugh and even we cry. Music is culture, but it is also entertainment and the 3 singers bridge the gap between these two aspects impeccably! For Orquestra Pop Portuguesa, under the direction of maestro Élio Anes Leal , it was a moment to repeat, especially because between Il Volo and OPP a Great Love was born. Stay tuned for the next posts… we have a surprise for all of you!
These are the words of the concert promoters: LAST TOUR PORTUGAL.
“Combining opera and pop in a unique way, @ilvolomusic sold out the emblematic Aula Magna in Lisbon and thrilled the audience with their voices, greatest hits and timeless classics. 🎼💫 Thank you ✨”
31 October FRANCE
The concert was held in PARIS in the Salle Pleyel.
It’s been a long time since Il Volo returned to Paris, furthermore a live radio connection and streaming with RADIO ITALIA was planned.
Also in radio connection also Radio ONE London but alsoICN Radio for New York and on DAB radio for Scotland.
The beginning of the concert and a collage of songs.
I don’t know about you, but I really like hearing guys speak French, I understand almost nothing but I like listening to them. 🥰
As I told you, the concert in Paris was live on radio with Radio Italia (Italy), London ONE Radio (England) and ICN Radio New York, for U.S. and these are the greetings and thanks given live at the end of the concert by Ignazio.
Paris: Il Volo make a concert masterpiece. Thanks from the stage to London ONE radio, Radio Italia and ICN for the live broadcast at the same time
London (Paolo Criminelli) Great success for Il Volo at the concert in Paris, an extraordinary event that marked a historic stage for the radio world.
A historic fact for radio
For the first time, London ONE Radio broadcast the entire concert simultaneously withRadio Italia Solo Musica ItalianaandICN Radio in New York, creating a musical bridge between Europe and the United States and spreading the art and passion of Italian music to international level.
From the prestigious stage of the Salle Pleyel, Il Volo fascinated the audience with a selection of songs that ranged from Ennio Morricone’s masterful compositions to their most beloved hits, including “Capolavoro” and the emotional “Grande Amore”. The trio of tenors — Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble — gave an impeccable performance, winning the hearts of Parisian spectators and thousands of listeners tuned in from all over the world.
The audience responded with warm applause, while London ONE Radio fans followed the event from England, actively participating with comments and posts on social media to share their emotion in real time. This simultaneous broadcast between three major broadcasters represented a unique radio experiment, aimed at celebrating Italian music and bringing its beauty to different corners of the planet at the same time.
The concert not only highlighted the expressive power of Il Volo, but also underlined the strength of radio as a means capable of connecting cultures and generations, precisely on the centenary of its birth and on the tenth anniversary of London ONE Radio. “We couldn’t have received a better gift,” declared the management of London ONE Radio, highlighting the pride and satisfaction for this memorable initiative.
On stage, Il Volo wanted to thank the broadcasters involved: “Special thanks to London ONE Radio, Radio Italia,andICN Radio for making this extraordinary experience possible”, they said, while the audience’s applause became increasingly intense.
The event demonstrated how Italian music, supported by extraordinary voices and innovative radio collaboration, is capable of creating global connections, breaking down barriers and providing emotions without borders. A triumph that will remain imprinted in the history of music and radio.
The tour is going great so far and there are only three concerts left and then this tiring tour which has involved Europe and Dubai will also be over in a few days.
I am so happy that all the audiences who filled the concert venues were so loving and satisfied with our young men.
Surely you have already seen photos of Gianluca, Piero and Ignazio together with a man with sunglasses , and you have wondered who he is. Here they are.
This is Nicolò De Devitiis and he is part of LE IENE, which is an Italian television program on Canale 5 where the hosts always wear black suits and often sunglasses. Our boys have already been guests of LE IENE, or rather co-hosts and it was a lot of fun. So get ready because Nicolò followed Il Volo for 48 hours and a special will surely be born which will be included in an episode on Canale 5. We will keep you updated!!
That’s all for now, see you very soon!!
Daniela 🤗
As you all know, Quincy Jones, a great person in the field of music, died on November 3, may he rest in peace. Let’s remember him with this beautiful photo.

Come in and share the love of life, friends and Il Volo!
