All roads led to the PICC Plenary Hall, including that of the commander-in-chief, President Arroyo. The reason was the Il Divo, the international operatic pop vocal group, which in Italian means "divine male performer." I am not sure which was more divine – their voices or their looks.

The process of creating a group out of diverse personalities is nothing new. This was already being done successfully as far back as the ‘60s with the hitmaking teen group the Monkees as the best known example. What made this one different was that the search was only for classical singers, not pop.

Put them together and what do you get?

Yes, Il Divo, the quartet of classically-trained singers who mix pop and opera with such amazing result that its self-titled debut album, released last year, sold more than five million copies, smashing the Led Zeppelin’s 25-year-old record of being the only band to achieve a No. 1 album without a commercial single release.
