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.
Saturday the 27 of May is for us Polish fans of IL VOLO the day we’ve been eagerly waiting for and finally this day has finally came. Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio have been in Cracow since Friday and finally reached the beautiful Tauron Arena on Saturday. Here is the short welcome video.
There was a soundcheck for the members of official Fan club, but unfortunately I didn’t participate in it. I came to Cracow with my husband and friends who are not the members of the fan club and I didn’t want them to wait for me. But finally we are in the Arena which is filling up with people.
We have found our seats in the 3rd row and are waiting for the concert to start. There were paper hearts on the seats, we had red ones and the other sectors had white and green, so we had Italian flag. All this was prepared by the members of Polish Fanclub, really good job. We lifted the hearts up during some songs. That was really beautiful and I’m sure our guys liked it very much.
Before the concert of our guys there was a short performance of the special guest of IL VOLO, the Polish lyric soprano Joanna Jakubas. I have to admit that I didn’t know her. I’ve read some not very nice comments of the fans who weren’t very happy with the special guest announcement. I think that wasn’t fair, I was sure that if IL VOLO decided to invited Joanna will be great. Ms. Jakubas sang 5 songs. She began with the beautiful “Historia de un amor” and then 3 songs from her new CD . The last song “You’re Simply the Best” was a tribute to the great artist Tina Turner and the audience sang it together with Joanna. In the end, the performance was received very warmly by the audience of the Tauron Arena. Joanna Jakubas posted a photo with our guys and wrote that she was very happy and honored to sing before the concert of IL VOLO and it was a pleasure to meet the guys of IL VOLO personally.
So, a short technical break and now it’s time for the star of the evening the fantastic IL VOLO. For the beginning “The Ecstasy of Gold, then “Nessun Dorma” and the next song “Il Mondo” and of course our guys were fantastic and the audience enthusiastic. Next Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca greeted the audience and boasted of their knowledge of the Polish language. Well I have to admit that they are getting better, especially Ignazio. Anyway that was very nice and funny. Then we could hear some beautiful songs from the CD “Il Volo sings Morricone” like ”Se”, “Se telefonando” or “Your Love” and “Here’s To You”, and as usual they sang this song in the audience. It was a little crazy, fans (of course especially women) crowded around the boys hoping for a selfie or maybe a hug. Even if it was right next to me I wasn’t able to close to Ignazio. My husband has taken me only this photo below.
Well, it’s better than nothing.
Of course apart from the Morricone songs our guys sang other well known songs like “Un amore così grande”, “Io che non vivo senza te”, “Caruso” and much more. They sang also “Hallelujah” and that song they dedicated to all those people who have suffered and are suffering because of covid, the war in the Ukraine and the floods in Emilia – Romagna. On this occasion Ignazio mentioned that all this, I mean flood, was happening close to his house. As always they sang that song amazingly. The people turned on the lights, very beautiful and emotional moment. I have found this video of Kasia W. on YouTube.
I had tears in my eyes, just like many of the people in the Arena.
I have to mention another beautiful moment, the birthday of Maestro Giampiero Grani. He was given a beautiful rose and all the people in the Tauron Arena stood up and sang to him “Happy Birthday” and next the Polish birthday song “Sto lat” (A hundred years). That was really beautiful, and the Maestro looked happy and moved.
This time there were no duets, but the solos were stunning. Ignazio sang “My Heart Will Go On” Celine Dion and “I Will Always Love You” Whitney Houston. Both of them sang amazingly, but the second one gave me such chills and the audience went crazy. Gianluca sang “I can’t Falling In Love” and a medley of The Beatles songs, also fantastic. And Piero of course two beautiful arias “Mamma quell vino…” and “La mia canzone al vento”, which he dedicated to Ignazio, because it’s his favorite aria. And what could I say Piero was incredible, pure perfection.
After each first solo Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca got gifts and flowers from the members of the fun club and other fans. They were surprisedandpleased, Ignazio joked he did same shopping and Gianluca that this is Christmas. That was really very nice.
Ok, I think I wrote about, in my opinion, the most important moments of this amazing evening, but there were much more beautiful, funny and emotional moments. Well, it’s not possible to write about everything. The concert was really incredibly beautiful, Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca were fantastic, I had no words to describe that all. I’m sure that this evening everyone in The Tauron Arena had a great time and some lucky ones managed to get autographs or take selfies.
And here is a short video after concert posted by Prestige MJM, but I hope there will be a longer one too.
And some nice photos, also posted by Prestige MJM.
Well, May is coming to an end, for me it was a very exciting and beautiful month. First the wonderful concert in Verona and very nice international meetings and next fantastic concert in Cracow. That was beautiful time. We’ll see what else our guys will surprise us with.
The first half of July saw our favorites engaged in four concerts in Central-Eastern Europe.
Unfortunately, the concert on July 7 in Zaprešić in Croatia had to be postponed due to bad weather. These are things to put in the possibilities in outdoor concerts. In this case the concert was postponed to July 22nd. We cross our fingers hoping that the weather will be better on July 22nd.
On July 9, Il Volo had a concert in Poland, exactly in Łódź.
Poland welcomed the concert with great love, it was a great success. The event was organized by Prestige, who has a lot of respect and also friendship with our boys.
From the very first moment, Prestige MJM posted photos and comments like these:
The fourth concert of Il Volo in Poland is upon us! Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca have already arrived at the Atlas Arena. They are good friends of ours, so the greeting was friendly.
Then, after the beautiful concert they posted wonderful photos commenting like this:
❤️ Fantastic atmosphere among the audience and the enthusiasm of Il Volo conquered the audience of ❤Łódź, Il Volo Atlas Arena.
❤️ Wonderful voices and thrilling interpretations of famous hits have kept the concert in the memory of all fans for a long time.
Then Prestige also published a beautiful summary video.
Please click on photo below to view the video.
And finally this nice video where there are questions to our guys and people from the Prestige staff and also a radio journalist who expresses their sincere admiration for Il Volo. Really nice words that you can read translated at the bottom of the video itself.
Please click on photo below to view the video.
It was a memorable concert and now we see some great videos of the evening.
😁😁😁
Thanks Alicjia for this great video. 😘
Then Il Volo went to Bulgaria. Three wonderful concerts, with an adoring audience.
July 11, Plovdiv, in the beautiful old theater.
Little Vaja is the happiest child!
This is a press article published after the concert.
The fantastic Gianluca Ginoble, Ignazio Boschetto and Piero Barone appeared on the stage of the Ancient Theater of Plovdiv with the hit ‘The Ecstasy of Gold’ by the unforgettable Ennio Morricone from the film ‘The Good, the Bad, the Ugly’. Other magnificent melodies followed by the famous composer, musician and conductor – author of the music of unforgettable hits in the history of Italian and world cinema, including ‘E più ti penso’ from ‘Once upon a time in America’, from ‘Malena’, ‘Cinema Paradiso’ and others.
“Let’s sing love” – said the magnificent singers with cosmic voices and fascinated the audience of the Ancient Theater with a palette of favorite classical arias. Among these ‘La donna è mobile’ from the beloved opera ‘Rigoletto’ by Giuseppe Verdi, ‘Nessun Dorma’ from Giacomo Puccini’s ‘Turandot’, combined with the timeless songs ‘My way’ by Frank Sinatra, ‘Io che non vivo’ (without you), Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’.
The song ‘Delilah’ by Tom Jones and ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ by Elvis Presley caused a real excitement among the spectators of the Ancient Theater. And with the performance of the song ‘Volare’ Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero made the audience stand up and danced on the ancient seats. This was followed by the success of Lucio Dalla ‘Caruso’, which aroused the adrenaline of music lovers.
Little Vaya, embraced by Gianluca, approached the stage in the midst of the audience. He congratulated the beautiful girl and said that the performance ‘O Sole Mio’ was dedicated to her. The most loved song in the world, created more than 120 years ago by the composer Eduardo di Capua based on the text of the poet and Napoleon admirer Giovanni Capuro, was sung from the entire hall and filled the historic center.
This inspired the wonderful musicians of IL VOLO, and the three went to the public in three of the sectors of the Ancient Theater, where they greeted their fans. Among the guests were admirers from Italy, unfolding national flags, from Greece, Germany, China and others. To applaud their favorite artists, music lovers didn’t sit down until the concert was over and gave their favorite flowers, gifts, sweets, hugs and kisses. This was followed by the wonderful ‘Cheers’ from Verdi’s favorite opera ‘La Traviata’.
And for the finale, as an encore, the magnificent angelic vocalists performed the unique song ‘Grande Amore’.
The wonderful Italians took their leave with the promise that they would return to Plovdiv again. Kisses and hugs.
With the spectacular show, Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero started their tour in Bulgaria entitled ‘IL VOLO SINGS MORRICONE.’
Listen to how pleasant this interview made in Bulgaria is.
And now here are the last two concerts in Sofia, on July 13 and 14, two wonderful concerts full of music and love.
Please click on photo below to view the next video.
Yes, you have seen well, at the end of the video Piero dances with Barbara !!
My goodness, how much joy, how much happiness, how much love Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca gave, but how much love they also received!
People were completely involved, and there were many gestures of affection and admiration.
The tour is proceeding in the best way, but there is no time to rest, next stop: Romania!
But there is also a video for the promotion in Japan, there will be three concerts in August, on the 8th, 10th, 12th.
I am very happy for the fans of Japan, Il Volo is coming !!
Please click on photo below to view the video.
And finally a new Italian concert was announced, on August 22 in Tagliacozzo in Abruzzo, to the delight of Gianluca !!
Ok, I admit that it is nice to start a post with good news and this is it, even if by now everyone will be aware of it: Gianluca has done the control swab and is no longer positive !!
Here is the selfie and message with which Gianluca gave the news.
“FINALLY NEGATIVE and optimistic.”
We are all happy with this and suppose it is the same for Ernie.
But next time Gianluca, send us a big smile, so we are happier.
A beautiful smile like this one below that you sent to your friend Marino Bartoletti, who published it with his comment:
“There are many friends who, out of gratitude or affection, wanted to send me the photo with LA CENA DEGLI DEI (The Dinner of the Gods). I publish one that made me particularly happy: both because I love Gianluca very much, and because I can take advantage of it to hug him and wish him well. See you soon grandson.”
Always very nice our Marino Bartoletti, for him the boys are just like his grandchildren!
But Piero and Ignazio, where are they? Rest reassured, the two of them are fine. Gianluca’s contagion occurred after the Christmas event, where everyone was in their own home.
Piero on January 21 posted this beautiful photo to wish Placido Domingo a happy birthday.
Furthermore, Dario Mirabile, a friend of Piero, publishes these hands, undoubtedly of Piero, who performs the beautiful music of Morricone of Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, very sweet.
So the work on Morricone’s special continues!
As we all know, Ignazio is involved in the BOIN COLLECTION project, together with his friend, new father, Fabio Ingrassia.
Best wishes for this new project!
Another particularly juicy bit of news, was this of a sharing in a song of the new Mario Biondi CD, it is the same Biondi who writes it:
In my new album “Dare” to be released on Friday 29 January, there will also be “Crederò” a song featuring Il Volo. 🤩 Are you curious?
Yes Mario, I am.
Who knows what you four have done together !!
But how beautiful is this photo below sent by Arena Live Official, which reminds us that 21 January was the day of hugs (I did not know), and comments on the photo: “On World Hug Day, a hug from Il Volo at the Verona Arena See you soon! A presto!”
We are all with our fingers crossed in this wish!
How much we miss the warm hugs of Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca !!! ❤
A funny photo is this published by Sony, we could call it “A dive on the fly.” At least the boys saved socks and shoes !!
Let’s go back a little bit in time …. 2017, I found this nice interview made by Prestige MJM, which is the agency that also deals with Il Volo concerts in Poland. Maybe not all of you have seen this interview and it is in English!
At the beginning the splendid images of Taormina, who has been to Taormina, surely recognize it. During the interview Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca will tell their ideal of female beauty.
And now we finish with a big smile, seeing this nice video of funny moments.
Buon Divertimento: Daniela
!! NEWS NEWS !!
Today, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca are reunited and at work with the necessary precautions !! Good job guys. 😀
Credit to owners of all photos and video.
Come in and share the love of life, friends and Il Volo!
