Il Divo return stateside for more 'Evening' gigs
Currently in the midst of a South American run, Il Divo will return to North America later this year for a quick round of intimate shows.
The "An Evening With Il Divo" world tour continues with a Dec. 11 concert in Toronto, followed by stops in Atlantic City (12/12) and Wallingford, CT (12/13). A three-night run at New York City's Beacon Theatre Dec. 15-17 rounds out the quick North American jaunt. Details are below.
The orchestral-pop quartet first kicked off the extensive world outing in January, which made its way to the US in late April for a three-month excursion. The tour supports the group's latest studio release, "The Promise," which hit shelves late last year and debuted at No. 1 in five countries. The set entered the US album chart at No. 5.
Since being brought together in 2004 by Simon Cowell of "American Idol" fame, American tenor David Miller, French pop singer Sebastien Izambard, Swiss tenor Urs Buhler and Spanish baritone Carlos Marin have traveled all over the world.
"We felt calling the album 'The Promise' really echoed our sentiments about making a pledge to our fans, by taking a break and promising to return with an album better than any we have before," Izambard said in a statement.
The outfit will release a live CD/DVD set entitled "An Evening With Il Divo" next month. Slated for a Nov. 30 release, the set features 10 live recordings from the band's touring set, a full-length concert caught on film and a special behind-the-scenes feature, according to Il Divo's website.
