Biografia
Following a growing appreciation of male voices in a classical style, SImon Cowell deeded to form a vocal group, to be signed to his record label, Syco Music. Following auditions, French pop singer Sébastien Izambard, Spanish baritone Carlos Marin, American tenor David Miller and Swiss tenor Urs Bühler were chosen to form the band, recreating the style of The Three Tenors.
The band started recording for their first album in 2004, as their self-titled debut. Recorded in Sweden, the album featured renditions of Sinatra's "My Way" and toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart." The album was a huge success, becoming certified multi-platinum and reaching number one on 13 countries around the world, top five in 25 countries.
Their second album, "Ancora" was released in 2005, becoming a number one hit in the UK and Australia within a week. In the US it entered the Billboard Charts at number one, selling over 150,000 copies in a week. The album included a duet with Céline Dion, on "I Believe in You" and a Spanish version of Secret Garden's "You Raise Me Up."
Il Divo have consistently released albums since the success of their first two, including a christmas album. Their 2008 record "The Promise" again reached number one in several countries and 2011's "Wicked Game" broke the top 20 in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland and the US.
In 2012, the band released a record of their greatest hits, before embarking on an international tour with Welsh star Katherine Jenkins.

Classical music has seen somewhat of a mainstream crossover in recent years, which some would attribute to Simon Cowell and his love of showcasing the genre on his TV talent shows, providing platforms for artists such as Paul Potts.
One of Cowell's most prized classical possessions though did not come from one of these shows, but rather he put together to fill this new gap in the classical/mainstream crossover market. Enter, Il Divo. four rather handsome men from across the globe, with voices that blend together unbelievably smooth.
Cowell apparently spent a lot of time researching classical singers from across the world when looking for members of Il Divo. And despite only being together for the past decade or so, Sebastien, Carlos, David & Urs perform like they've been together for a lifetime.
Regulars in the touring game, I've had the chance to see Il Divo live a few times, with the most memorable performance being at the Royal Albert Hall back in 2012. Hearing the incredibly powerful vocals of this group within such an iconic venue, with some of the best acoustics on offer, was an experience that I will never forget.
Il Divo have changed people's perceptions of classical music as something that only the upper classes are knowledgeable of and enjoy, and their success in doing so is evidenced by worldwide album sales of 26 million.
Like him or loathe him, Simon Cowell has created a gem with Il Divo, who filled a gap in the market so well. I for one have already booked tickets to see them later this year at The o2 Arena in London and it is sure to be another unforgettable experience.

It was the lovely enjoyable concert and the humor was not forgotten when Carlos was on state. However, there were few points that the organizers should take in concern: I arrived with taxi and the only entrance that did have somekind of signing was the Crown area. There were security personal on the way but non did not know where was the entrance for Red area? Since the security said that yep here...my taxi stop the meter and I paid. Then the another security personal said NO. Taxi was still there but it cost extra 12 AED to go another gate (no signs). Finally I made it in to Red area and went to byu food. The platter for two (sushi etc) was really dry and the seagrass around them too old and almost too hard to eat. Other than this it was a good idea to get them ready and have a quick service. After the meal I was looking for a place for the cigarette. There was no place with asthrey and the waitress told that you can smoke anywhere? There should have been dedicated area for smokers! The concert started and Il Divo group made all better except the sound system was terrible time to time. I came to hear singing not the drums... Those microphones were not set up since they voice were not balanced at the beginning. At the end I I can still say that Il Divo made my evening and the fabulous choice of songs left everyone in good mood. I would have loved to byu the after party ticket from the spot but it was not possible? I am sure it was not so full and at the end business is business and ticket sale is the sale even it is created at the spot.

El concierto fue simplemente maravilloso. Soy de México, y desde la primera vez que fueron en 2007 a CDMX los fui a ver en vivo... de ahí en adelante no he faltado nunca a sus conciertos... Excepto, en marzo del 2018... porque ese año estaba en trámites de mudarme/emigrar a Canadá. Y oh sorpresa!! Casualmente me vine a vivir a Montreal y a las pocas semanas de haber llegado aquí, me enteré que darían un concierto!!!
Fui la persona más feliz del mundo y en seguida compré mis boletos!!
El concierto me fascinó, las canciones fueron maravillosas, escucharlos hablar en inglés, español y francés fue genial!!! Ha sido un concierto único e innolvidable... (y eso que he ido a varios ya). El único comentario no tan positivo que tengo es que... el Teatro St-Denis no me gustó mucho... no me gustó que se podía ver el escenario tras bambalinas, vaya! por lomenos hubieran puesto cortinas... puedo asegurar que cualquier auditorio o teatro donde se han presentado en México ha sido mil veces más lindo que el teatro St-Denis aquí en Montreal.
En adición a eso... POR FAVOR!!! Asignen más fechas para conciertos de Il Divo en Montreal en un futuro próximo!!!
Gracias!! :)

I have been Il Divo fan since 2003. I went to 13 concerts in UK but also in Belgium and two in Paris few years ago. I cannot imagine my live without their music. For me, they are the most wonderful singers with unbelievable talent and charisma. I went to Meet & Greet few years ago as a special treat for my birthday. I adore Il Divo and I am so pleased for them and their worldwide success. Yesterdays, Timeless Tour concert in Cardiff was electrifying, with great involvement of the audience, standing ovation, a very memorable evening. The new repertoire of songs they have chosen are onr of my favourite songs. I loved every minute of this concert. They give absolutely 100 percent at every concert I have been too. Long live IL Divo. I love you Guys.

I saw Il Divo at the Rosemont Theater on October 22. They were great,amazing, specially when Sebastien sung in French, since I am French. I was hoping to connect with him, but was not seated at the right place. All of the songs I knew them.
The only thing that I didn't care for were the dancers. I would have liked better if Il Divo were performing alone. It sorts took them away from their performance.
It seemed the attention was more towards the dancers. After having said all that I still love them, I think they are great singers and would not mind seeing them again in the near future if they return to Chicago.

Not the greatest event. Only about a third of tickets sold and organisers did not adjust by moving those who were there closer to the stage. Consequently no real atmosphere. More a venue issue than a performer issue.
Performance was OK in view of the lack of atmosphere however the group seemed to cut down the second half of the show in response to this.
Lot of money to pay for a c90 minute performance

Next to Andrea Bocelli, the greatest concert and show yet. Can't wait to see them again. Saw them 2 years ago in the same venue--They all get better with age especially David and Sebastian. Urs voice is absolutely fabulous. Carlos' voice is so strong and powerful, too.

Il Divo is an amazing group, they really sing with their souls. It was my 4th time watching these guys, and I still can do this for the next oportunities. Between past and present they perform an incredible love story.
