Italian teen trio Il Volo performs Tuesday at Plaza Theatre

Piero Barone sounds like a typical teenager.
He loves girls and sports cars and wears his signature red glasses because "they are cool and I feel comfortable with them," not because he needs to.
But in one obvious way, the 19-year-old doesn't sound like a typical teenager -- his voice. He's got a booming operatic tenor that belies his age.
Barone is one third of Il Volo, the unlikely popera -- operatic pop -- singing sensations from Italy. The trio will perform in El Paso for the first time Tuesday at the Plaza Theatre. The tour, their second in North America in two years, includes a handful of dates opening for Barbra Streisand and will be followed by the November release of their second studio album.
The group's been on quite a roll since debuting in the United States two years ago.
"The reaction we are having with the audiences is making our dream come true," Barone said from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "They make us believe that we are bringing our emotion and our kind of music, (which) we were born with in Italy, around the world, and we appreciate it because people love it."
Not bad for a bunch of guys from Sicily and central Italy who'd never met until they were cast on an Italian TV show.

Italian pop-opera teen singers Il Volo bring their music to the world

The three teens from Italy internationally known as Il Volo — Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble — have grown-up music on their minds. For the past three years, Barone, 19, Boschetto, 17, and Ginoble, also 17, have been singing a pop-classical crossover brand of opera.
Barone, calling from a tour stop in South Florida, immediately acknowledges they “don’t sing real opera,” but his enthusiasm for the style is beyond reproach.
“Our goal is to bring this kind of music around the world,” he said. “Our music is for all ages. I grew up with this music, so the first time I heard this kind of music I fell in love with it. Everybody can love this music. When you discover it, you are going to love it.”
In the span of a mere two years, Il Volo has released four albums. The trio’s self-titled debut was released twice. One version, which includes songs in Italian, Spanish and English, was released in May 2011. A Spanish edition of the disc hit stores a month later. A live album, Il Volo Takes Flight: Live From the Detroit Opera House, arrived in February. There’s even a digital-only EP of Christmas songs.

Il Volo: Miami Beach Concert!

Il Volo chills out on a couple of steps while performing at the Fillmore on Sunday night (September 16) in Miami Beach, Fla.
The guys — Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto — recently chatted with Royal Oak’s Daily Tribune about their recent return to Detroit.
“Well, you know, it’s a good memory,” Ignazio shared about their Il Volo Takes Flight — Live From the Detroit Opera House special which is out on DVD now.
He added, “It was big emotion … and a big moment for us because the Detroit Opera House is so charming, and everybody sang there — Charlie Chaplin and Michael Jackson, everyone. When someone told me that I was shocked. Detroit is the town of everyone. And now it’s the town of Il Volo, as well.”
