Il Divo Sings Their Way Into Caesars Palace

You can’t really appreciate the art of song until you’ve heard the operatic pop group Il Divo. Named the most multinational UK No. 1 album group in the 2006 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records, Il Divo pours their heart and their vocals out in Spanish, English, Italian and French in a way you won’t believe. And on Friday, July 13 and Saturday, July 14 you can listen to the award-winning group belt out their hits during their 2012 World Tour Las Vegas stop live at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
The Il Divo 2012 World Tour is the group’s fourth, following the release of the quartet’s latest album, “Wicked Game” and is a new milestone for the crossover singing group that blends amazing vocals with opera undertones, and all in several different languages.
The tour brings the spectacular quartet of French pop singer Sebastian Izambard, Spanish baritone Carlos Marin, American tenor David Miller, Swiss tenor Urs Buhler,
the Il Divo band, and famed orchestras from each city together. They incorporate a visual and musical mix of fan favorites as well as songs from their new album for one powerful night of music.
“Wicked Game” is the Il Divo’s fifth studio album and includes the title track, which is a reworking of the Chris Isaak classic; a beautiful rendering of Roy Orbison's 'Crying;' a new song inspired by Samuel Barber's 'Adagio for Strings' called 'Dove L'Amore' and an unforgettable version of ‘Time To Say Goodbye’.
Believe it or not, former “American Idol” judge and record producer Simon Cowell was behind the creation of Il Divo. The idea for a multinational quartet was spurred after Cowell heard Andrea Bocelli sing Con te partiro while watching the Sopranos. He soon set out across the globe to discover young singers who were willing to be a part of Il Divo and in 2003, after nearly two years of searching American tenor David Miller signed to the group, finally completing Il Divo.
Recording for their first album, “Il Divo” began in 2004 and included a Spanish rendition of Toni Braxton’s “Unbreak My Heart;” their first original song “Mama;” Sinatra’s “My Way;” “Nella Fantasia” and “Passera.” Within weeks of releasing the album it hit the #1 slot on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The multi-platinum selling CD became #1 in the charts in 13 countries and achieved a top 5 placing in 25 countries. Since then they have gone on to receive the Billboard Breakthrough Award for their 2009 tour, “An Evening With Il Divo” and have sold more than 25 million albums across the globe!
