Il Volo takes flight

Il Volo means flight in Italian – and it turned out to be the perfect name for a trio of teen tenors who have been soaring to new heights since winning the TV talent show “Ti Lascio Una Canzone” in their native Italy.
Since their 2009 reality TV win, Il Volo – Piero Barone, 19, Ignazio Boschetto, 18, and Gianluca Ginoble, 16 – have toured with Barbara Streisand, performed across the world, released a platinum-selling album in Italy, and topped the Billboard Classical Crossover Albums chart in America with their classically influenced music.
On Thursday, Il Volo will take the stage at The Westchester County Center in White Plains. The concert has been generating local buzz with fans of all ages, including Jeanne Lolya, a self-described “little old lady from Ossining” who told us how much she loved their music and impressed us with her knowledge of the group. “Ignazio is the one with the dimples!” she pointed out. “I want to tell them to keep singing.”
“The people [in America] are very warm,” Gianluca said when we mentioned loyal fan Lolya during a phone call on Friday. “We can’t wait to come to White Plains.”
While winding down from rehearsals, the trio also chatted about their music, competing on reality TV (they offered some advice for two locals who are currently competing on “The Voice” and “X-Factor”), and shared their admiration for their legendary tourmate Barbara Streisand.

Il Volo singer Piero Barone on finding his voice and more ahead of State Theatre stop

From the time he was 3, Piero Barone knew he'd become a singer.
"That was the first time I opened my mouth, and sang to my nono (the Italian word for "grandpa"), and he took me to have my voice recorded that same day," Barone explains.
Barone, who sings tenor in the hit singing trio Il Volo, joins Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble on stage Monday night at the State Theatre in Easton. Il Volo performs at 8 p.m. as part of their current North American tour.
Il Volo, which means "the flight" in Italian, are also special guests on Barbra Streisand's current tour of the U.S. and Canada, according to a news release.
On working with Streisand, Barone quickly becomes enthusiastic. "She is a legend. It is like a dream come true," Barone says.
From Broadway show standards to fresh takes on operatic or "popera" arias, Barone says performing becomes a dialog between the singers and audience.
"When you are on the stage, you have to show people who you are, at least that was what we did with our first recording. Now, with our second album, we are exploring deeper what we can do," Barone says.
The trio's first album, "Il Volo," was released in 2010 and went platinum, according to the release.
Songs include updated interpretations of such Italian classics as "O Solo Mio" and "Un Amore Cosi Grande," along with new material written specifically for Il Volo, such as "La Luna Hizo Esto" and "Painfully Beautiful," written by Grammy Award-nominated songwriter Diane Warren, according to the release.

Il Volo wowing audiences with operatic-pop

Il Volo might be a "boy band," but it is unlike any you have ever heard. "Il Volo" means "to fly" in Italian, and these three Italian teenagers take flight with music called "operatic pop." Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble sing popular songs with the quality of opera stars.
Their beautiful, rich voices are more like the Three Tenors than the Jonas Brothers. In their songs they share solo parts and offer wonderful harmonies, uplifting their audiences with each moment full of emotion and drama.
Il Volo will perform at Easton's State Theatre on Oct. 15, in between dates as the opener for Barbra Streisand on her national tour. The boys will be backed by a band of keyboards, bass, drums and guitars.
Success has come quickly for the trio. Its first, self-titled CD was released last year in the United States. A PBS special, "Il Volo Takes Flight: Live from the Detroit Opera House," was made into a CD and DVD. The group has appeared on "American Idol," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "The Today Show," "Good Morning America," "The Talk," "Ellen" and "Rachael Ray."
