Notte Magica - A Tribute to the Three Tenors

The album was recorded on July 1, 2016 at the Il Volo concert in Piazza Santa Croce in Florence with the orchestra of the Teatro Massimo di Palermo. It pays tribute to The Three Tenors on the occasion of the twenty-sixth anniversary of their iconic first concert held on the eve of the Italia '90 World Cup and features a selection of the repertoire performed by Domingo, Pavarotti and Carreras during their tournées, including popular Neapolitan songs, Italian and international classics, themes from musicals and classical opera arias.

Plácido Domingo himself took part in the concert, conducting the orchestra in eight pieces, with Maestro Marcello Rota alternating as conductor, and joining the trio to sing "Non ti scordar di me". The project was also supported by the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation.{{cite web|url=http://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/cultura/2016/09/30/il-volo-una-parentesi-lirica-omaggio-ai-ttre-tenori_622312d2-5fa3-4ced-9344-bd1e998ee7c1.html|title=Il Volo, una parentesi lirica omaggio ai Tre tenori|publisher=ANSA|last=Pucci |first=Federico |date=1 October 2016|accessdate=2 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.rockol.it/news-659342/il-volo-tre-tenori-tributo-concerto-firenze-1-luglio-intervista-video|title=Il Volo, concerto-evento a Firenze per ricordare Pavarotti, Domingo e Carreras (sognando un duetto con Bono) - VIDEOINTERVISTA|publisher=rockol.it |date=16 June 2016|accessdate=2 February 2017}}
