Il Volo to perform at American Music Theatre

The singing group known as Il Volo will bring its melodious sounds to the Lancaster area on Sunday.
   
The trio — Piero Barone, 18, Ignazio Boschetto, 17, and Gianluca Ginoble, 17 — is known for its renditions of classical songs and standards such as “O Sole Mio” and “Il Mondo,” a style of music dubbed “operatic pop” or “popera.”
   
The group’s members first met and performed together on an Italian television talent show in 2009. After hooking up with a manager and producer, they recorded their self-titled debut album in 2010.
   
Il Volo (which means “flight” in Italian) first came to prominence in the U.S. with the trio’s 2011 appearance on “American Idol.” Following that performance, their album went to No. 6 on the Billboard Top 2000 charts and has remained on the Classical Crossover Chart since March 2012.
   
The group has appeared on such shows as “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” “Today” and “Good Morning America” and filmed the PBS special “Il Volo Takes Flight.” The trio recently joined Barbra Streisand as her special guests for several of her upcoming concerts.

Il Volo appeals to a variety of ages

Move over, Justin Beiber. Watch your back, One Direction. Il Volo is coming to town.
   
For the uninitiated, Il Volo is the latest teenage singing group to take America by storm. The difference here is that this male trio, consisting of Piero Barone, 18, Ignazio Boschetto, 17, and Gianluca Ginoble, 17, prefer to belt out classical songs and standards such as “O Sole Mio” than the usual electronic-infused pop that dominates the charts.
   
Their style, dubbed “operatic pop” or “popera,” has been a hit with young and old alike, according to Ginoble.
   
“Our goal was to bring this kind of music to all people: Kids from 1 to those 92. Just like the Christmas song,” he said.
   
He said not a lot of artists span generations. “Justin Beiber only has the teenagers. Andrea Bocelli has only the 30-year-olds. Il Volo is not this way,” he said.
   
Il Volo, which means “flight” in Italian, first met and performed together on an Italian television talent show in 2009. After hooking up with a manager and producer, the trio recorded its self-titled debut album in 2010.
   

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.”

Il Volo Impresses at Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, West Palm Beach - September 13

There were a couple of things that could've ruined my Il Volo experience. First off, I initially thought they were called Il Vulva and were a Vagina Monologues tribute opera. Not the case. Secondly, there was an oddly dressed and smelly man sitting in front of me who yelled out whoops like he was at a Jay-Z concert.
Once I got past all of that, I was still an opera novice at a sold-out teen opera concert. It didn't help that the show opened with cheesy lighting and background images straight out of a Windows screen saver. I haven't seen anything like it since I saw Neil Diamond in concert (that insufferable genius bastard).
With everything apparently working against the trio -- who I dubbed "Pretty," "Smooth Operator," and "Glasses," (respectively, see above) -- things weren't looking good. And then they opened their mouths.
They were all born in the '90s. I know, it's totally gross. They've accomplished more as teenagers than most people probably will ever. And it's not from a false inheritance of fame or the whoring of fame that's so prominent these days. It's because they not only have an incredible gift, but they have clearly worked meticulously at growing and maintaining that gift.
