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.
LIBIAM DE LIETI CALICI with the soprano Elina Netsajeva
CAPOLAVORO
MEMORY
Always nice to hear this beautiful song from Ignazio’s voice! ❤️
E LUCEVAN LE STELLE
Piero with his powerful lyrical voice, what a dream! ❤️
This video is really special and in its entirety, Gianluca singing THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT wonderfully, rejoice!❤️
And what to say about this other single by Gianluca sung in Budapest:BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS❤️
I found this video and I left it for last because I find it really wonderful, finally we can listen to THE SOUND OF SILENCE in its entirety and at the beginning the voices of Il Volo are subdued, and then follow with all the strength, I like it very much !! ❤️
the final
Backstage with Il Volo, Cellist Jodok Vuille, the soprano Elina Netsajeva and Marcelito Pomoy, who went to see the concert.
Marcelito Pomoy is a very famous Filipino singer, he won Philippines Got’s Talent and participated in America’s Got Talent, his peculiarity is that he sings with both a baritone voice and a mezzo-soprano voice and therefore plays both in the same song roles for men and women!!!
October 12, Czech Republic: PRAGUE
The concert is held in the beautiful and largest arena in Prague, Arena 02.
Here too, great public participation, great warmth, great love!
02 Arena, after the concert published these words:
“A spectacular show full of Italian passion from Il Volo lit up the O2 arena just last night.”
I found this video of a fan filming her concert experience from outside the arena and then several songs.
It’s nice to hear so much applause for our dear young men. Our dear friend, Alicja, was kind enough to provide the translation/summary of the words of this Ukranian lady.
Summary:
Hello, I came to Prague alone, for concert of Italian pop opera trio. It is trio of 3 boys who sing pop opera. I could not attend concerts since 3 years, this time I bought ticket as well very late, I have my seat very high in the arena. Look behind it is O2 Arena, it is famous venue for concerts, hockey games and other shows. I think I will enjoy this evening. Look how many people are already in the queues and still coming from all directions. Concert is sold out. Here you see escalators, I will go up to my sector. Here you can buy snacks and drinks, even alcoholic drinks you can buy before event. Now I want to show you the view of entire Arena. I like such big venues, feel small here. I still have time so will walk a bit around Arena.
AFTER CONCERT: I’m so amazed, concert was incomparable to anything I saw before, fantastic performance, great young boys, great singers.
But how sweet is this child who wants to give flowers to his favorite… Piero takes the flowers, but the child has clear ideas, his favorite is Gianluca!!❤️😂😂😍
MISERERE
HERE’S TO YOU
Il Volo with maestro Martin Sanda who conducted the orchestra.
Only two days of break, incredible to think how Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio can move places in just two days, rehearse with a different orchestra and maybe with a few different songs and always be at the top. By the way, as some of you asked, they also manage to visit the cities where they hold concerts, as demonstrated by the photos that they themselves publish of the monuments or typical places of the various cities, and we are happy that they manage to do so.
14 October Spain: BARCELONA
The concert is held in AUDITORI FORUM.
The beginning of the concert:
NELLE TUE MANI from Il Gladiatore
WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER
AD ASTRA
OPERA
GRANADA
GRANDE AMORE in Spanish, Italian and English 😂
CCIB (Barcelona International Convention Centre) published these words:
“🎶 Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, the renowned members of the Italian opera trio Il Volo were the protagonists of a memorable performance last night at the #CCIB Forum Auditorium, as part of the Festival della Croce d’Autunno Concerts Cruïlla. Thank you for giving Barcelona this special musical evening!”
And the event organizer CONCERT CRUILLA wrote this:
“Last night @ilvolomusic transformed the @ccib_auditori into a refuge for lovers of opera, intergenerational hits and the Italian essence that only they can transport all over the world. 🐚
The sensitivity of this trio contrasted with their lyrical skill and a staging that won us over from the start!”
And so three more concerts have concluded and I would say in an impressive way as regards the participation of the fans and the professionalism of our beloved ones.
Even in Barcelona Il Volo was greeted with warm applause and affection.
Only two days after Spain and then there will be the next concert in Germany…….but do you think there will be a whole day of rest???
But not by chance, because on October 15th Il Volo returned to Italy, to Rome for a private event in the beautiful Palazzo Colonna, of which we can only give you this short video.
And then back to Germany for the next concert.
But there is still something new!
From the next concert in Germany there will be a regular guest in Il Volo concerts, her name is Cecille (Cecilia Sordoni), a good singer from the Marche region.
Il Volo, the singer Cecille will be the guest of all the European dates starting from tonight’s live show in Dusseldorf.
After London, Bratislava, Budapest, Prague and Barcelona, Il Volo continues the World Tour and announces that Cecille, a young singer from the Marche region, will be a regular guest on all the upcoming European dates starting from tonight’s live at the Mitsubishi Electric Halle in Düsseldorf until last show on November 6th at the Wizink Center in Madrid.
The meeting between Il Volo and Cecille was born by chance, when Piero Barone, Gianluca Ginoble and Ignazio Boschetto, always looking for new sounds and talents, came across some of her videos on Andrea Bocelli’s social media.
Impressed by her interpretation and voice, they decided to contact her and offer her the opportunity to perform with them on all the upcoming dates of the European tour.
“We all agreed that she was the perfect talent to accompany us on our concerts in Europe and we are happy that she immediately accepted our proposal with enthusiasm,” explains the trio who later discovered that Cecille is part of the Bocelli family. (in the sense that she often sang with Bocelli)
The singer has already conquered international audiences with extraordinary performances, including one at the White House in 2023, when she sang in front of First Lady Jill Biden interpreting Lucio Dalla’s Caruso.
While the 2024/2025 World Tour continues with European appointments until November, for Italian fans of Il Volo the appointment is set for January 2025 with Tutti per uno – ad Astra live in sports halls, the tour in the main Italian arenas produced by Friends & Partners. The World Tour will then continue in the USA, Canada and Latin America.
And now look at how cute this video is with Cecille breaking the news to Bocelli.
CECILLE= Hi Andrea, I came to say hello, I have a flight not to miss. (flight in Italian = Volo, she plays on the double meaning of the word).
BOCELLI= Do you have a flight not to miss? Where to?
PIERO= Andrea is coming to us, don’t worry.
IGNAZIO= Yes, in any case it was a misunderstanding, the flight (Il Volo) is us, not intended as an airline…
GIANLUCA= Andrea, Cecille will come with us on tour in Europe. Get ready to fly.
BOCELLI= In this case, how to say…..(he starts playing the song VOLARE on the piano). Good luck everyone!
CECILLE= Ciao!
And here are the words published by Cecille:
“Once again reality surpasses all my dreams, all my imaginations.
I can’t find the words to describe the emotion and honor of being part of this extraordinary journey with Il Volo for inviting me to join their European Tour.
Piero, Gianluca, Ignazio, the words ‘Thank you’ will never be enough.
All my gratitude to Andrea Bocelli whose music and support have always inspired me throughout my journey.
And now we get ready to fly…Düsseldorf we arrive!✈️🎶🌍✨❤️”
Surely all of you, these days, have seen photos of the boys in Spain, and exactly on the island of Formentera, but perhaps not everyone knows the reason for their trip to Spain.
But let’s start in order. On October 5th, Ignazio published this video.
I= First of all I want to thank all those who made my birthday wishes to me and have had the thought for me yesterday.
Now we are heading for Formentera, we are in Ibiza and we are going to Formentera.
Hello everybody.
P = Guys today go to Formentera, while Ignazio thanks his fans for yesterday’s best wishes.
G = Greetings all, a greeting from the VOLO from Ibiza, we are going to Formentera.
I = Around Formentera.
All these videos have triggered the fans’ questions: “What will they do in Formentera? Why are they in Spain?
Some (among them, me too) have thought that they were there to shoot a music video, the presence of Barbara, meant that they were not on vacation.
Mystery!!!
Here they are while renting a car.
I = When it comes to randomness and you arrive in Formentera and find the car labeled IB (Ignazio Boschetto) ha ha !!
G = We have a car that is not very special. It drives, Ignazio the guide.
P = A little narrow. The Flinstones car. (Laughs)
I = Wait, it turns on like this.
G = Ignazio, what do you think of this car?
I = Superb.
G = Bella, is not it?
I = Other than Formula 1
(they sing and laugh)
P = Today you go around with the Flinstone’s car.
I = But if you do not put me GOOGLE MAPS, where the hell we go ???
P = Maximum speed?
I = 50 km per hour (31 mph)
Certainly they are having fun, but the reason for their trip to Formentera is not yet revealed, but in the evening, the clouds of doubt are thinning out.
A party?? Will they be invited to sing at a private party? In the photos we recognize so many famous people in Italy and in the last video, the person with the black jacket is Cenci, the one who had the idea of uniting Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio.
Still mystery! Also appears a picture of Piero that seems to clarify something ……. she is the bride, all the people are dressed in white, a party for a wedding ?? But, whose? Some fans have misunderstood, seeing Piero hugging the bride, she is blonde, but she’s NOT VALENTINA !!!
Here is the mystery revealed.
In the evening, in a television program, wishes are given for the wedding of Ferdinando Salzano who is the CEO of F & P Group.
The F & P Group is an Italian company belonging to the Warner Music group, that specializes in organizing, promoting and producing shows and events in the field of music (live) and entertainment. The F & P Group deals with various activities, such as concerts, sponsorships, events, multimedia and TV productions, using a team of professionals of great and proven experience.
Here are some photos of the wedding.
Piero with the groom.
Gianluca with Nek.
Ignazio is looking at the ball game on the phone.
The bride arrives.
Here is revealed the mystery of the presence of many well-known faces of Italian artists, including Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca.
OK, guys, it was almost a short vacation and you had fun, but now, back immediately to Italy, there is a recording studio waiting for you and countless fans waiting for the fruit of your work !!
Daniela
PS = Greetings to Salzano for the wedding ……….. please organize beautiful and numerous concerts of IL VOLO for their decennial !!
