Il Volo’s Ignazio Boschetto and Piero Barone delivered a breathtaking rendition of “My Way” at Crocus City Hall on June 18, 2017, as part of Notte Magica: A Tribute to The Three Tenors. After a humorous and warm introduction by Boschetto, the duo transported the audience on an operatic journey that felt larger than life—almost like stepping into a Disney-inspired dreamscape.
From the very first notes, Ignazio and Piero’s voices blended in perfect harmony, soaring across the venue with a richness and control that left the audience in awe. Their performance was met with thunderous applause throughout, as fans online called it “sheer perfection” and “elegancia y perfeccion total.” Many remarked that the duo’s chemistry, charisma, and impeccable style elevated the performance to something truly unforgettable.
The duo took the classic Paul Anka hit through its iconic journey, from the opening line “And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain” to the triumphant final notes of “I did it my way”. Each lyric was delivered with emotional depth and precision, punctuated by dramatic musical swells and audience applause that seemed to grow louder with every phrase.
Commentators on social media reflected the audience’s delight, with one fan saying, “This song…this performance…it takes my breath away!” while another wrote, “I can listen to them all day. Their voices are sheer perfection.” The performance was more than a song—it was a masterclass in vocal artistry, style, and showmanship.
For Il Volo, whose roots trace back to Italy and the operatic pop tradition, performances like this reaffirm their global appeal. Fans noted not just the technical mastery, but the theatricality and energy that made the evening feel like an immersive experience: “Almost like a Disney world, but real,” one attendee remarked.
As the final chords of “My Way” faded and the applause swelled one last time, it was clear that Ignazio and Piero had delivered a performance that will be remembered for years—a modern homage to the timeless power of operatic pop done at the highest level.
