Il Volo Flying Across the U.S.
Today Il Volo released its debut live CD and DVD along with a new batch of North American tour dates scheduled August through October.
The Italian operatic pop group is made up of three teenage tenors – 18-year-old Piero Barone, 17-year-old Ignazio Borschetto and 16-year-old Gianuca Ginoble. The trio met in 2009 while performing on the Italian RAI TV music competition “Ti Lascio Una Canzone.” After Ginoble won the competition, the three singers continued performing together. They were introduced to American audiences last May on the 10th season of “American Idol.”
The group’s self-titled debut was released in Italy in November 2010 and in the United States last May. The live CD and DVD, Il Volo Takes Flight – Live From The Detroit Opera House, was filmed last year on the trio’s first North American tour. The show features Italian classics including “O Sole Mio” and “Un Amore Cosi Grande” and the trio’s take on the Charlie Chaplin classic “Smile.” The live DVD includes a bonus documentary.
Fans will get the chance to see Il Volo live this summer beginning with an Aug. 12 performance in Minneapolis at The Orpheum Theatre.
The tour includes stops at Cincinnati’s PNC Pavilion At Riverbend Aug. 17; Cleveland’s Jacobs Pavilion At Nautica Aug. 21; Ottawa’s National Arts Centre Aug. 28; Montreal’s Place des Arts Aug. 29; Boston’s Bank Of American Pavilion Sept. 8; and Houston’s Bayou Music Center Sept. 22.
The last date is Oct. 2 in Seattle at the Paramount Theatre.
After airing on a PBS Detroit affiliate this past December, Il Volo’s PBS Special “Il Volo Takes Flight” will air in more than 80 percent of the U.S. during PBS’s fundraising drive between March 3-18.
The trio will return to the “Today Show” March 6. The guys have also scheduled in-store performances at Barnes & Noble in New York (86th Street) March 4 and Los Angeles at The Grove March 11.

Rosa d'Oro per Gianluca Ginoble

The CD and DVD track listing follows this release.

Il Volo Takes Flight - Live From the Detroit Opera House was filmed last year while the group was on their first North American concert tour and captures the genuine excitement of their live performance, the stunning crowd reaction and the many standing ovations the group has received in every city they have performed. The show includes Italian classics such as "O Sole Mio" and "Un Amore Cosi Grande" as well as a magnificent version of the classic Charlie Chaplin song "Smile." The Live DVD includes a bonus documentary.
With rave reviews the CD, DVD and PBS broadcast of Il Volo Takes Flight is one of the most highly anticipated releases of the new year. The NY Daily News glowed, "If you've never heard them sing 'O Sole Mio' or other classics in their rep, then be prepared to be blown away."
Piero Barone 18, Ignazio Borschetto 17 and Gianuca Ginoble 16, also dubbed The Teenage Tenors, exploded onto the U.S. music scene and into the hearts of U.S. fans following their show stopping appearance on American Idol last year. Their self titled debut CD debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. Worldwide sales are approaching the one million mark. Already certified platinum in their homeland, the boys also appeared on major U.S. TV shows including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Today Show, Good Morning America, The Talk, Ellen, Rachael Ray and a surprise performance on the final episode of the HBO series Entourage.
Il Volo is finalizing details for a 2012 North American tour, produced by Live Nation, to be announced soon.
Both the CD and DVD were produced by Grammy award winning producer Humberto Gatica (Michael Buble) and renowned Italian singer/producer Tony Renis. "We are excited and proud to have produced this concert for national distribution with our partners at PBS and the Michigan Opera Theatre," commented Detroit Public TV's President and General Manager Rich Homberg. The show was directed by Ron de Moraes and executive produced by Michele Torpendine (Il Volo's manager), Tony Renis, Steve Leber, Ken Ehrlich, Jamie Westrick and Ron Fair.
