(AUSTRALIA 2016, September 30)

Marking 26 years since the initial 1990 Rome concert that introduced the world to the Three Tenors, "Notte Magica: A Tribute to the Three Tenors" showcases classical crossover trio Il Volo in concert at Piazza Santa Croce in Florence with legendary Spanish tenor Placido Domingo. An homage to Domingo and his fellow Three Tenors Jose Carreras and the late Luciano Pavarotti, "Notte Magica" features Il Volo's Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble, backed by the orchestra of the Teatro Massimo. Special guest Domingo sings and even shares conducting duties with Maestro Marcello Rota. Along with classic Italian opera numbers like "Nessun Dorma" from Turandot and "Libiamo ne’ i Calici" from La Traviata, we also get renditions of beloved songs from the Neapolitan tradition including "O Surdato' Nnammurato," "'O Sole Mio," and "Come Back to Surrento."
