“Arrivederci means ‘see you again soon’ in Italian it holds the promise of a time when our eyes will meet again. With this album I wanted to revisit the most beautiful music from opera to traditional Italian songs from the last century, the like of which will never be written again”. Vittorio Grigolo

Hailed by the Independent as “the most exciting young male talent in opera today”, Vittorio follows up The Italian Tenor, with a fresh and personal take on Italy’s exceptional musical heritage – with his new album, Arrivederci.

Combining his selection of beautiful arias with songs from the past century that are steeped in the Italian tradition, Arrivederci is a deeply personal homage to the music with which the great tenors of the past have thrilled generations of music lovers.

Along with the Mediterranean sun-drenched voice and instinctive Italian flair, Vittorio also brings a beautifully refined, fresh and sensual interpretation to these greatest of arias and Italian songs, which include Verdi’s “La donna è mobile”, Cilea’s “Il lamento di Federico” and Giordano’s “Amor ti vieta”, as well as “Core 'ngrato” “Non ti scordar di me”, “Mattinata”, “Torna a Surriento”, and “Caruso”. Vittorio Grigolo also adds gems familiar from his childhood in Rome: “Chitarra romana” and “Arrivederci, Roma”– both reflecting the sounds and musical tradition of a period in Vittorio’s life he will never forget.
