Notte Magica - A Tribute to the Three Tenors is the fourth live album by Italian operatic pop trio Il Volo, with the participation of Plácido Domingo as a performer and conductor. The recording was released worldwide on September 30, 2016 by Sony Masterworks.[1]It peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Top Classical Albums and it was certified platinum in Italy by the Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana.
The album was recorded on July 1, 2016 at the Il Volo concert in Piazza Santa Croce in Florence with the orchestra of the Teatro Massimo di Palermo. It pays tribute to The Three Tenors on the occasion of the twenty-sixth anniversary of their iconic first concert held on the eve of the Italia '90 World Cup and features a selection of the repertoire performed by Domingo, Pavarotti and Carreras during their tournées, including popular Neapolitan songs, Italian and international classics, themes from musicals and classical opera arias.Plácido Domingo himself took part in the concert, conducting the orchestra in eight pieces, with Maestro Marcello Rota alternating as conductor, and joining the trio to sing "Non ti scordar di me". The project was also supported by the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation.[2][3]
Il Volo began to promote the album in September 2016, performing "Nessun Dorma" on NBC's America's Got Talent Season 11 finale, joined on stage by AGT contestants Laura Bretan, Sofie Dossi and Viktor Kee.[4]
Shortly before the release of the album, the audio version of "My Way" exclusively premiered on Billboard magazine's official website on September 14, 2016[1] and the audio version of "Maria" on broadwayworld.com on September 22, 2016.[5] On September 28, 2016 People magazine's website shared an exclusive first look at "Granada" video.[6]
The trio performed the bonus track "Adeste Fideles" on NBC's Today Show in New York City on December 23, 2016[7] and came back to the show on March 3, 2017 to perform "Nessun Dorma", just before starting their Notte Magica World Tour from the Radio City Music Hall on March 4.[8]
