Il Volo - Soaring into their second decade

Just like other performers, the Italian group Il Volo has to postpone their concerts while the world aims for more control over COVID-19. The young trio was originally going to perform shows in Europe this month, but those shows are now rescheduled for late 2021. The bel canto singers are excited to connect with their audiences once again, performing Italian classics and original material with their powerful operatic voices.

Spotlight producer Paul Larson invites us back to a simpler time, when "social distancing" was not a common term. His second interview with Il Volo happened on January 30, 2020, backstage at Place Bell in Laval, Quebec. No one was talking about postponing shows back then. No one was wearing a mask. Larson and the Italian lads sat less than six feet apart and chatted about their 10 year career, and their sixth PBS special, shot in beautiful Matera Italy.
