Il Volo to perform at American Music Theatre

The singing group known as Il Volo will bring its melodious sounds to the Lancaster area on Sunday.
   
The trio — Piero Barone, 18, Ignazio Boschetto, 17, and Gianluca Ginoble, 17 — is known for its renditions of classical songs and standards such as “O Sole Mio” and “Il Mondo,” a style of music dubbed “operatic pop” or “popera.”
   
The group’s members first met and performed together on an Italian television talent show in 2009. After hooking up with a manager and producer, they recorded their self-titled debut album in 2010.
   
Il Volo (which means “flight” in Italian) first came to prominence in the U.S. with the trio’s 2011 appearance on “American Idol.” Following that performance, their album went to No. 6 on the Billboard Top 2000 charts and has remained on the Classical Crossover Chart since March 2012.
   
The group has appeared on such shows as “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” “Today” and “Good Morning America” and filmed the PBS special “Il Volo Takes Flight.” The trio recently joined Barbra Streisand as her special guests for several of her upcoming concerts.
