Ignazio Boschetto speaks about the soaring success of Il Volo

When Italian trio Il Volo takes the stage, prepare to be swept away by the powerful passion only Italian opera can bring. Ignazio Boschetto, 18, Piero Barone, 20, and Gianluca Ginoble, 18, launched Il Volo in 2009. The group’s name, which means “the flight” has rocketed to global fame with their hit rendition of “O Sole Mio.”
In 2011, they appeared on HBO’s “Entourage” and the following year, performed with Barbra Streisand. Boschetto phoned us from Montreal Sept. 9 where Il Volo performed for 5,000 people the previous night. Currently touring in America promoting new albums We Are Love and Mas Que Amor, the vibrant young singer is definitely living la dolce vita these days.
“I think each moment of our career has been so special and important for us,” Boschetto said of his group's international superstardom. “For us, it’s a dream. Every single part of our day is like dreaming and we didn’t expect any of this. Being here after three years, everything has happened so fast. It’s really all a dream come true.”

Il Volo on Gulp Music

Appearance of Il Volo in Gulp Music (italy) on 07/09/2013

Il Volo opera/pop trio comes to Westbury

"We don't sing just opera and we don't sing just pop," says Piero Barone of the Italian trio known as Il Volo, making its second concert appearance in two years at NYCB Theatre at Westbury Tuesday evening.
"We're a crossover between classical and contemporary," the 20-year-old tenor adds. As the only one of the three who's no longer a teenager -- tenor Ignazio Boschetto and baritone Gianluca Ginoble are both 19 -- Barone is the group's senior spokesman.
He speaks three languages -- Italian, English and Spanish -- but like the others, Barone also sings in a fourth language: German. Wagner, anyone?
"I'm the dramatic one," Barone says by phone from Chicago. "I can do opera. We sing with harmonies."
OPERA IDOL His greatest thrill so far is recording "Il Canto," with the legendary tenor Plácido Domingo. "I've been listening to him since I was 5 years old, and now he listens to us. Can you imagine? We decided together to dedicate the recording to Luciano Pavarotti because he's a countryman of ours," Barone said of the late tenor great. Domingo agreed to sing with Il Volo at the urging of a grandson.

Il Volo is way ahead of the learning curve

When Piero Barone, the youngest member of Il Volo, was born 20 years ago, Barbra Streisand already crossed the half-century mark.
But there was Barone, as well as Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, his Il Volo mates, sharing a stage with the icon when she returned to Brooklyn last autumn during a rare tour.
Il Volo impressed with their massive sets of pipes after they were introduced by Streisand.
“To perform with Barbra Streisand, particularly in her hometown of Brooklyn, was something we’ll never forget,” Barone says during a telephone interview from Vancouver. “Every night we were out with her, I had goose bumps.
“It was an extraordinary experience. What I learned from her was to keep it humble since she has accomplished more than anyone and she is so humble. We’ll be humble, too.”
Il Volo, which will perform Thursday at the Tower Theater, has plenty to be proud of, but the handsome, charismatic trio refrains from tooting its collective horn.

Il Volo at the UNICEF gala

 

The evening wasn’t all reserved gaiety though. After all, it is Houston, and when the operatic boy band Il Volo wowed the gala-goers with their three-song set, the well-heeled crowd rewarded them with cheers and a standing ovation. Before hopping a plane to Toronto, the teen trio went off script in a cute mix of English and Italian.
“This is a real pleasure and important for Ms. Williams who has done so much,” Ignazio Boschetto said.

Il Volo to take flight in Pittsburgh

 Gianluca Ginoble couldn’t hold back his emotions when he first met Barbra Streisand.
“I was crying like a baby,” Ginoble said. “It was unforgettable. Barbra Streisand is a legend.”
Ginoble was more than just some lucky fan who happened to score a backstage meet-and-greet.
The Italian teenager is part of the pop-opera trio Il Volo, which were chosen to warm up audiences for Streisand on her autumn 2012 tour.
That assignment and other high-profile appearances in a three-year span have elevated Il Volo to the status of U.S. concert headliners.
On Wednesday, Ginoble, 18, and his fellow Il Volo members — Piero Barone, 20, and Ignazio Boschetto, 18 — will showcase their vocal talents as the main event at Heinz Hall.
Nikki Yanofsky, a 19-year-old jazz-pop singer and star in her native Canada, will open the show.
For most Pittsburgh area fans, it will be the first time seeing Il Volo in person.
“Though we’ve been to Pittsburgh,” said Ginoble, recalling the trio’s on-air appearance at WQED-TV (Channel 13) during a pledge break promotion. “We’re very happy and excited to be coming back to Pittsburgh. We really loved that city.”
