Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto are used to people being surprised when they open their mouths.
“We were 15 years old. People would be like, ‘Is it possible that they sing like this?” Boschetto told TODAY, speaking from the offices at 30 Rock.
Together, the three 20-somethings comprise the group Il Volo, singing what they call “popera” — music on the border of pop and opera.
The trio formed after each competed separately on the Italian reality show “Ti Lascio una Canzone” in 2009, which saw young singers covering pop songs. Ginoble won, but creator of the show Roberto Cenci had the idea to put all three together in a group.
