Interviewing Solvay Native Richard Jay-Alexander on Producing Two Il Volo PBS Specials

Sunday afternoon, June 9 2013, at 3:00:  My co-host, Jim Battaglia and I will air part of our interview with Richard Jay-Alexander about his role in producing the PBS Il Volo concert, “We Are Love” which is being featured on WCNY on Sunday, 6/9 at 8 p.m. and Tuesday, 6/11 at 10 p.m and the upcoming “Buon Natale” Christmas special.
We were fortunate to have caught up with Richard just as he had finished his work with the three teenagers Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble known as Il Volo in Miami and before he left for London to tour with Barbra Streisand.
Many listeners know Richard who was born to Frank and Dulce Fernandez of Solvay.  The veteran producer began his stage career on Broadway as a dancer, singer and actor and then took on the roles of executive producer for Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon and Les Miserables and has worked with top artists like Bernadette Peters, Bette Midler and Kristin Chenoweth.

Il Volo, We Are Love. PBS special Previews

Detroiters get special early view of Il Volo special

 

Thanks to a friendly association with the Motor City — which includes the filming of “Il Volo Takes Flight — Live From the Detroit Opera House” PBS special and DVD, Detroit is getting a sneak peak at the teen classical trio’s next major project.
The Italian group’s “We Are Love,” filmed March 26 in Miami, will be shown nationwide starting June 1 but airs at 9 p.m. Saturday, April 13, on WTVS, Detroit’s Channel 56. The show includes performances in English, Italian and Spanish, including renditions of Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel,” One Direction’s “Little Things,” “Can You Feel the Love” from “The Lion King” and “Maria” from “West Side Story,” among others, as well as a collaboration with Mexican singer Belinda.
Il Volo’s Gianluca Ginoble notes that “We Are Love” is different from Takes Flight.”
“That was classical songs, Italian songs, so this is a little bit different,” he explains. “We sang a lot of songs in English for this one because our English is getting better every day, but we kept the same kind of music, operatic pop.”
The “We Are Love” album will be released at the end of May with five bonus studio recordings. While in Miami the trio also filmed a holiday special in Miami, “Buon Natale,” that will premiere Nov. 30 with an album and DVD release as well. Meanwhile, Il Volo is planning to spend several months in Los Angeles this year to continue working on the members’ English and also “to be close to the record company and the promotion and everything” for its upcoming releases, says the group’s Piero Barone.

Il Volo charms sold-out Fillmore with 'Love' and happiness

When Il Volo fans around the country tune into the “We Are Love” PBS special filmed Tuesday night in front of an enthusiastic, sold-out crowd at the Fillmore Miami Beach, they’ll get plenty of the teen trio’s snappy fashion, swarthy good looks and impressive vocal firepower.
But what may not be so evident once the outtakes are taken out:  These guys are a lot of fun.
More than just another Il Volo concert, Tuesday’s two-hour-plus filming (for a TV special scheduled to air June 1) offered local fans a unique,  unedited view of the Italian pop-opera trio in action. Cues were missed, power was lost, lines were flubbed  –– such is “live” TV ––  but the boys seized each do-over as an opportunity to show off an abundance of witty charm.
When the impossibly handsome Gianluca Ginoble (pictured, left) was being fussed over by stylists between songs, Ignazio Boschetto (right) asked: “Do you need a mirror?” Then, to the audience: “He has a house full of mirrors.”
As the formerly pudgy Ignazio wandered back from his own primping session, the third member of the trio, Piero Barone, intoned: “Ladies and gentlemen, Johnny Depp,” causing Ignacio to do a little catwalk vamping.

Il Volo pop opera teens to record two PBS concerts at Fillmore Miami Beach (with rehearsal video)

Il Volo, the teenage Italian pop opera stars who last fall toured North America with Barbra Streisand, wish everyone happy holidays.
Not Easter or Passover. Merry Christmas.
“Only Il Volo can sing Christmas songs in March,” says tenor Ignazio Boschetto, 18, who with fellow tenor Piero Barone, 19, and baritone Gianluca Ginoble, 18, perform two concerts (including a 2013 Christmas special) to be recorded for PBS on Tuesday and Wednesday at The Fillmore Miami Beach theater.

“We feel very Christmas-y in March,” says Richard Jay-Alexander of Miami Beach, their concert director who also guided them on the Streisand tour.
The young men say they’re excited about working again with RJA.
“We are really lucky because we have another grandpa,” jokes Barone. “We didn’t know that. A big grandpa — Richard Jay-Alexander.”
“Very funny,” deadpans Jay-Alexander, 59, during a concert rehearsal at WLRN-TV studios in Miami. (CONTINUE READING BELOW)

Il Volo: A Live PBS Recording in South Florida

 

Il Volo is an Italian operatic pop group who has swept the nation with their angelic and moving voices. Consisting of two tenors and one baritone, this trio has captured the hearts of many and continues to amaze with the announcement of their show at the Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason Theater, which will also be recorded by PBS studios.
The group started out on an Italian show similar to "American Idol" and it was history from there. Since their seemingly overnight success, the trio has released five albums, including a "Christmas Favorites" album. Notability for the group would be their last performance at the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize Concert held in Oslo, Norway.
