Il Volo Brings Christmas Magic to Sofia With a Joyful 2025 Holiday Medley
Il Volo lit up Sofia, Bulgaria, in November 2025 with a heartwarming and festive Christmas medley that had the entire hall — choir, orchestra, and audience — clapping along from start to finish. The atmosphere was pure holiday joy, with the trio’s unmistakable blend of classical elegance and playful charm making the night unforgettable.
Piero Barone, Gianluca Ginoble, and Ignazio Boschetto delivered spirited renditions of beloved Christmas classics including Jingle Bell Rock, Let It Snow, and It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Their signature bel canto style elevated each song while still keeping the performance light, joyful, and filled with festive warmth.
Ignazio Steals the Spotlight With Holiday Humor
Ignazio Boschetto added his own comedic twist to the performance, subtly turning moments of the medley into a mini-comedy skit. His playful banter and expressive delivery had fans laughing between notes, giving the concert the cozy feel of a Christmas movie unfolding live on stage.
Social media reactions were immediate and glowing. Fans praised the show as “fantastic,” “wonderful,” and “unique,” celebrating not only the trio’s voices but the holiday spirit they created alongside the Plovdiv Opera Symphony and a 25-member Italian choir.
A Highlight of Il Volo’s 2025–2026 European Tour
The Sofia concert was one stop on Il Volo’s expansive European tour, which has brought them to Vienna, Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Madrid, and more. Upcoming performances will take them to Poland, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, and Spain. Looking ahead to 2026, the trio will embark on a Latin American tour in March and return to Italy in December for arena shows in Milan, Florence, Rome, Turin, and Bologna.
