Il Volo have announced details of their first PBS Special "Il Volo Takes Flight" as well as on their upcoming CD and DVD, "Il Volo Takes Flight – Live From The Detroit Opera House," which is scheduled to be released on Feb. 28th on Geffen Records. Due to the extraordinary response from a single airing on the PBS Detroit affiliate DPTV this past December, the program is now scheduled to air as part of the March 2012 PBS Fundraising Drive across the country between March 3rd and March 18th. The CD and DVD track listing follows this release.
"Il Volo is extremely talented. It's a wonderful pleasure to introduce another new music sensation like these three, young Italian tenors to American audiences through PBS," said Joe Campbell, Vice President of Fundraising Programming at PBS.
Confirmed cities airing the special include New York, Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
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.
Il Volo is finalizing details for a 2012 North American tour.
