by 18 November 2024After achieving extraordinary success with the first stops of their 2024/2025 World Tour in Japan and major European capitals—many of which sold out—IL VOLO expands the boundaries of their international acclaim with the release of Ad Astra (International Edition), now available for preorder. This new version of Ad Astra—their latest album, released on March 29 and their first composed entirely of original tracks—will be available on November 29, 2024, via Epic Records/Sony Music Italy. It will include five new tracks: a special English version of Capolavoro—the Gold-certified song presented at Sanremo 2024—set to release at midnight, Now We Are Free, the iconic theme from Ridley Scott’s Gladiator composed by Hans Zimmer, The Sound of Silence and Hallelujah, with original arrangements by Michael Tenisci and Stefano Marletta, and Amazing Grace in an unprecedented collaboration with internationally renowned soprano Pretty Yende.
Ad Astra (International Edition) is a tailor-made masterpiece, crafted to reflect the distinct yet complementary personalities of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble—three artists whose incredible voices have captivated audiences across continents, making them one of the most significant names in classical crossover pop. Ad Astra stays true to the trio’s unmistakable style while exploring new frontiers, representing a musical dimension that blends intimate atmospheres with celestial inspirations.
