And finally it’s time for the U.S. tour. and Canada has arrived.
You were looking forward to this beginning, but now it’s your time to listen to such beautiful voices live and have fun with them.

PIERO= The US tour will begin. in February/March, we are really satisfied and I think this is the best way for artists, singers like us, the best way to celebrate 15 years of career.
Meanwhile, the dates of the South American tour have also been communicated and therefore to date, starting from February 28th, Il Volo has 50 concerts on the list until December, but the list will certainly vary further.  (click on the box below to view the IL VOLO official website)

Il Volo began their 2025 World Tour last night, right here in the desert. It was an honest-to-God thrill to see them and spend some time together. I first met Piero Barone IL Volo Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble when they were teenagers. They toured with us with Barbra Streisand, Chris Botti, Jason Gould and Roslyn Kind. The show was BACK TO BROOKLYN. Not long after that, the boys and I were reunited in Miami and filmed two PBS specials. A regular concert and a Christmas Show titled BUON NATALE. That’s where the “bonding” really happened. The gentleman have now been together for 16 years and, yes, “the pup grows up.” My head exploded last night and my heart was jumping for joy. The show was spectacular! TWO hours of non-stop singing with a HUGE orchestra and NO trickery! No video packages, no filler and a diabolical music program from Broadway, Pop, Classical and Italian Signature Greats. I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears! Solos, Group Songs and Stunning Arrangements. A lot of “life” has happened to, and for, these boys and they are now skillful showmen with an ease and confidence that left me in awe. Truly. Also, their individual and distinct personalities shone through and all I could do was love them and admire them and enjoy them. Their humor and comradery were on full display and I had a huge smile on my face all through the show and the soaring vocals pierced! The “ping” in their voices, together, felt like they could shatter glass. That is NO exaggeration. The voices are at their robust “peaks” and the lung power, stamina and skill on display last night were staggering to me. No vocal tracks, no tricks … THEY WERE SINGING! Honestly, I don’t know HOW they do it, but I was so glad to be there and must tell you that IF they are playing anywhere near where you live, GO SEE THEM! Forget the recordings. Forget that you’ve seen them on television. There is NOTHING like being in that room with a full orchestra and those voices traveling through and around the molecules in the air and in the room. I promise!
They also met actresses Katrine Kelly Lang and Ashley Jones.

And the Estefan family.
More photos from the evening
The newspaper THE ARGONAUT published this article:
“@argonautnews This week’s top story: When the Italian pop-opera trio Il Volo studied English at UCLA, the singers immersed themselves in American traditions. Now in their early thirties, the men have since become the world’s most popular Italian trio, having collaborated with major international stars and arenas worldwide.

They were also guests on the JENNIFER HUDSON TV show, unfortunately I couldn’t find anything about this event, who among you saw it?

MARCH 2

The second concert was held in Los Angeles, in the Peacock Theater.
A short summary published by Il Volo on the Instagram profile.

 

WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER

Several videos were filmed by Joanna M. Harris who posted them with this comment:
“Sunday night March 2, I went to see Il Volo (Italian trio singers) at the Peacock Theater at LA Live with my family. They were fantastic, singing many Italian classics as well as songs from Simon and Garfunkel, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Frank Sinatra. What a fantastic evening. We have followed the careers of these super talented guys for the past 15 years!”

Our friend Judith was present at the concert in Los Angeles and posted this beautiful photo of the Meet & Greet with these words:
“Me with “the boys”, Il Volo, individually and collectively the exceptional and powerhouse trio that, each time you see them and hear their distinctly different voices, you’ll feel overwhelmed and pleased to be there! Personally, I just close my eyes and let their voices fill me! If tickets are available in your area, do go. A memorable evening will be in store for you.”

What can I say, the first three concerts have been performed, the audience was enthusiastic and warm, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca are fit and happy to be there with all of you!
It all seems to have started with excellent hopes for future concerts too.
The next one will be in Jacksonville and our Pat will be at the concert after that in Davie/Hollywood to report on everything.
Pat I wish I was there too!!   (I wish you could be there with me too, Daniela! 😘)
See you soon:

GIANLUCA NEW APPEAL – IL VOLO WORLD TOUR: SAN JOSÉ and SAN RAFAEL by Daniela

Unfortunately Covid19 is infecting many people around the world.

The situation here in Italy is very serious. All of Italy has stopped. Everything closed, schools, churches, gyms, cinemas, theaters, museums, airports, stations, many shops, not necessary. From today, all shops except for food (always well supplied) and pharmacies will probably be closed.

Unfortunately, it seems that the seriousness of the situation is not well understood by young people, who continue to go out in the evening. For this reason Gianluca made an explicit appeal to the young people in his area.

I translate for you.

Hello everyone, I too am part of this initiative I HELP ROSETO. It is a situation that we all know, truly dramatic, that affects all of us, and therefore, I recommend YOU MUST STAY HOME. It is a message that I want to send above all to my peers, because it must start with us, the sense of belonging, the community, take care of ourselves, but in particular of the people who are close to us and above all of the elderly.

So please, let’s be responsible, WE STAY HOME, surely there will be many things that we will rediscover, be with the family, give priorities, try to have new hobbies, new passions. There is certainly a lot to do at home, so please, STAY HOME.

I hug you tightly, this too will pass, this moment will also pass.

Gianluca 01

Thanks Gianluca, there are no words, but only to reflect, for the good of all.

The SAN JOSÉ concert was another success, very few videos and photos.

Final greetings

Thank you San José for last night. We are spending amazing days here in the U.S.! Two more shows to go before to come back in our amazing country, facing a difficult time…  

But unfortunately, due to recent developments in the spread of viruses, the MARIN CENTER of San Rafael, where Il Volo was to perform tonight, is closed, and therefore the concert is canceled.

Gianluca 03

I am very sorry, for all those who had bought tickets, in time, to be able to attend an evening of entertainment and good music.

Unfortunately, situations are evolving quickly and action must be taken just as quickly.

Only two last concerts are missing and I hope with all my heart that they can be done, but without any risk.

I will conclude by translating this message from the Pope.

A hug from Daniela.

Gianluca 04

“Before you fall asleep tonight, think about when we will return to the street.
When we hug each other again, when, shopping together, it will seem like a party.

Let’s think about when the coffees will return to the bar, the small talk, the photos close to each other. Let’s think about when it will all be a memory, and normalcy will seem an unexpected and beautiful gift.

 

We will love everything that has so far seemed futile to us.
Every second will be precious.
Swim at the sea, the sun until late, toasts, laughter.
We will go back to laughing together.

Strength and courage!
See you soon.”

POPE FRANCIS
