Il Volo’s Gianluca Ginoble brought a touch of magic to the festive season during the group’s recent concert in Sofia, Bulgaria, in November 2025.
Performing a soulful rendition of the iconic Christmas song It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, Gianluca captivated the audience with his velvety baritone, offering a stripped-down version that felt both intimate and timeless.
Fans from around the world flooded social media with praise, calling his performance “extraordinary,” “magical,” and “full of emotion,” highlighting the warmth and charm of his voice.
Originally written in 1951 by Meredith Willson, It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas has long been a seasonal favorite, popularized by Perry Como, Bing Crosby, and more recently Michael Bublé, whose version transformed the song into a deeply romantic and emotional holiday classic. Gianluca’s interpretation added his own sophisticated nuance, blending nostalgia with his signature dramatic flair, creating a moment that fans described as unforgettable.
This performance in Sofia is part of Il Volo’s expansive European tour, which continues through major cities including Vienna, Berlin, Paris, and Budapest. Following the European leg, the trio will return to Latin America in March 2026, performing in sold-out venues across Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile.
Looking ahead, Il Volo announced the fourth edition of “Tutti per uno – Viaggio nel tempo”, scheduled for September 24, 26, and 27, 2026, at the historic Palazzo Te in Mantova, Italy.
Previous editions of the show, broadcast on Canale 5, set record viewership for televised musical performances, promising fans an extraordinary mix of original songs, special guest appearances, and fresh interpretations of classic favorites.
With his angelic voice and magnetic stage presence, Gianluca Ginoble once again reminded audiences why Il Volo remains a global sensation. His rendition of It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas not only celebrated the festive spirit but also underscored the enduring power of music to connect hearts, making this holiday performance one for the books.
