“In the past, we have done major projects but [the songs were] ‘heavy’, at least for three teens to twenties,” the guys revealed in a new interview. “Now is the time for a record of songs with Latin flavor, probably in both Spanish and Italian.”
Il Volo are also pictured below meeting Pope Francis at The Vatican, where they presented him with a copy of their record, Notte Magica, ahead of their concert at the Mediolanum Forum in Milan, Italy.

Notte Magica – A Tribute To The Three Tenors will feature a special appearance by Placido Domingo and will debut on September 30th.

“We didn’t know each other, but when we met for the first time it was like old friends,” Piero shared ahead of their Las Vegas concert over the weekend.
He added about the experience at their concerts, “I can tell you if you come to our show you can laugh, you can cry, you can have fun because it’s classical music, but we want to bring this kind of music to the young generation.”
“That’s not something we wanted to do,” Gianlucashared recently about including more modern songs on their latest album. “It was something different but it wasn’t the right way to go about things.”
He added, “We want to impress people with the music we love. We want to impress people with powerful songs. We want to surprise our audience. When we get to America, we want to sing classical songs. We want to sing Caruso. We want to sing the great songs.”
