Talented voices of Il Volo take Italian heartthrobs to new heights

They might be teenagers, but they sing the kinds of songs that bring moms and daughters to concerts together, and they do so well enough to capture the attention of Barbra Streisand, who invited the Italian trio to sing with her on her 2012 tour.
Il Volo, which appropriately means “the flight,” has skyrocketed to worldwide fame in three short years, and wraps up its first North American tour Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at Toyota Presents the Oakdale Theatre.Tenors Ignazio Boschetto and Piero Barone and baritone Gianluca Ginoble have made quite a name and following for themselves with mature and glorious vocals that can handle an Italian aria as well as a U2 song. They reflect the song choices on their first two albums, the 2010 debut “Il Volo,” which went platinum, and the most recent “We Are Love,” around which this tour was based.Boschetto, 18, took a few minutes before the trio’s Atlanta concert to talk about the wild wave they’re riding, with a refreshingly gee-whiz reaction that makes you believe we won’t be reading any stories of them spitting off the hotel balcony on fans a la Bieber any time soon.“Sometimes I wake up in morning and have to hit my head on some wall, because I don’t believe,” says Boschetto. “For us, is a dream coming true. We have done so many things so far. I have to say thanks to our family and people believing in us, always supporting us.”

Il Volo, U.S. tour and a movie for Disney

LOS ANGELES - Pasta was the most successful Italian export product to the US until Il Volo, the operatic-pop trio composed of young Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble. They landed, and caught the attention of radio, have faced successful tour of the States on the stages and in the meantime their records went up high in the rankings. The Rise of Il Volo overseas seems unstoppable. The debut album was immediately "platinum", while the second, We Are Love, lea is climbing the Billboard charts. Last year Barbra Streisand wanted them with him along the North American tour, the first for her for twenty years now, and a duet with them on stage.
[NOTE: This is the best we can translate Italian, sorry. ]
Il Volo has appeared in popular television talk shows (to Jay Leno, in particular), in many shows over the public network PBS and finally landed well on American Idol, the X Factor U.S.. The interest of the entertainment industry for the trio nostrano is huge, and not only by the record: Disney is planning a film about their (still) short career, starring themselves. The three tenorini boast legions of teenage fans who adore them, in open competition with Justin Bieber.

Il Volo, the three young flying high

They have toured with Barbra Streisand and sung with Placido Domingo, Eros Ramazzotti and many other artists. I recently did a tribute to Jose Jose at the Latin Billboard Music Awards. They sing in Spanish, English, Italian and other languages, and the genre they play is a lyrical pop.

They also revolutionized Latin America with their voices and unique look.

The interview was only with Gianluca, but in the span of the interview Ignazio and Piero joined, making this a more dynamic talk.
Why the name Il Volo (The Flight)?
Gianluca: It is a metaphorical name, pronunciation is very simple and also because music makes us fly and travel a lot and live on airplanes. I think it's a perfect name for us.
