The Italian trio—known for blending classical strength with pop sensitivity—delivered a version of the iconic ballad that hit deep, both vocally and emotionally.
Watch their performance below.
From the first note, the room seemed to freeze. Their harmonies were pristine, their timing flawless, and their connection with the crowd undeniable. But it was the powerful solo moment from tenor Ignazio Boschetto that truly stole the show.
As he climbed into the song’s most dramatic high notes—ones few singers dare to touch—his voice cut through the air with raw power and beauty. It wasn’t just impressive; it was soul-piercing.
In that exact moment, fellow group member Piero Barone’s emotional reaction said everything—his wide eyes and overwhelmed expression were the mirror image of what every audience member was feeling.
Gianluca Ginoble’s rich baritone brought tenderness to the arrangement, balancing Piero’s operatic strength and Ignazio’s emotional fire. Together, they didn’t just perform “Caruso”—they lived it.
Here’s What to Know About “Caruso”
Originally written in 1986 by Italian artist Lucio Dalla, “Caruso” is a tribute to famed tenor Enrico Caruso. With poetic lyrics about love, longing, and the soul of a singer, the song has become a go-to classic for powerhouse vocalists.
Over the years, legends like Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, and Josh Groban have given their take on it—but Il Volo’s interpretation brings something uniquely emotional to the table. Their version isn’t just about vocal ability; it’s about feeling every word.
This performance serves as another reminder of why Il Volo continues to captivate global audiences. They don’t just sing songs. They tell stories with their voices—and “Caruso” was a story no one in the room will soon forget.
