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.”
