Il Volo Reflect on 18 Years Together, Their Christmas Traditions and What’s Next

The Italian trio has just released a new album, Our Christmas , and will be touring major arenas in the U.S. and Italy from November-December.

Il Volo, the renowned Italian trio known for their classical singing, mark 18 years together in this interview ahead of the release of their Christmas album and an upcoming US tour. Despite their polished stage presence, the members, Gianluca, Piero, and Ignazio, reveal a more relatable side away from the spotlight. Their chemistry is so strong that they complete each other's thoughts effortlessly.

Trust, according to the trio, is the key to their longevity, as each member must completely trust the others on stage. They emphasize that their daily lives differ significantly from their on-stage personas, attributing their freedom on stage to the absence of everyday responsibilities and pressures. The band's commitment to authenticity has never wavered, even in the face of fame and the temptation to compromise.

They maintain their individuality within their unity, expressing admiration for various artists while remaining true to their own style. The trio acknowledges that not everyone will understand their approach but insists on respecting each person's unique expression. For them, every concert feels like the first, and the audience's standing ovations remain an unforgettable experience.
