Il Divo is a multinational classical crossover vocal group formed in the United Kingdom in 2003 by Simon Cowell for his Syco Music label. 

Known for blending opera with popular music, Il Divo helped pioneer the genre of operatic pop, or “popera,” achieving global acclaim. Their repertoire spans multiple languages—French, Italian, Spanish, and more—and includes iconic renditions like “Nella Fantasia,” “Isabel,” and “Pour Que Tu M’aimes Encore.”

Since the release of their debut album in 2004, Il Divo has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and earned 160 gold and platinum awards across 35 countries. Their discography includes ten studio albums and two live recordings, along with notable collaborations with artists such as Barbra Streisand and Lea Salonga.

Renowned for their sophisticated image—often dressed in Giorgio Armani—the group has performed sold-out shows in over 69 cities during their first world tour alone, with more than two million concert tickets sold globally. Their enduring popularity and musical innovation have cemented Il Divo’s legacy as a trailblazer in the classical crossover genre.
