Italian operatic pop trio Il Volo, who were supposed to perform at Tel Aviv’s Menora Mivtachim Arena on Saturday night, October 14, postponed their show until April.

Local publicity for the Italian troupe, Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto, said the rescheduled show will take place on April 9, 2024, 9 p.m. at the same venue.

Previously purchased tickets are valid for the new show date.

“We wish recovery to the wounded and send reinforcements to the army and security forces,” wrote Il Volo’s Israeli producers.

The three singers, Ginoble, Barone and Boschetto, perform works by Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Plácido Domingo and other greats, backed by a 32-member orchestra.

Barone, Boschetto and Ginoble met in 2009 as teens competing in an Italian televised singing competition and represented Italy in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest.
