The new generation three tenors: Volo Tenorini from Italy

A new Italian trio of singers is showing that opera can live on in a new generation.
“Il Volo” is a modern take on the famous three tenors of the past and features three young Italians, known as the Tenorini, as they sing opera greats and classic Italian songs.

Ignazio Boschetto, Piero Barone and Gianluca Ginoble might be aged 15, 16 and 14, but with a talent and maturity beyond their years, they’re starting their Volo international tour.

Covering songs such as O sole mio, Il mondo and Un amore così grande, the trio has started their international tour, starting in Paris and performing in major cities in Europe and the US.

Like many young singers coming to the fore these days, the three became famous via television but have a music school background.
Their album has been produced by Michele Torpedine who has previously worked with Andrea Bocelli.
After performing live in a benefit concert for Haiti, Il Volo will release their album in the US and other English speaking countries next year.
