🎙️ Working with Il Volo: Breaking Stereotypes

The backstage footage includes candid reflections from the filmmakers and cast regarding their experience working with Il Volo on their first formal cinematic set:

“Regarding the guys from Il Volo, I had a big prejudice at first because they are international stars… but it wasn’t like that at all,” the production team noted. “They were very sweet, available, and dedicated. They played themselves, but their role brings a great sense of humanity to international stardom. At the end of the day, they are just great guys.”
