About Insieme per suonare cantare danzare recitare Competition
A competition that nurtures young talent
The "Insieme per suonare cantare danzare recitare" competition is one of the longest-running national events dedicated to young performers in the live arts. Organized by the Associazione Culturale Arte ETS, it brings together hundreds of participants every spring to compete in four major sections: music, dance, theatre, and short film (the "Insieme Corto" section). Contenders include soloists, singers, musical formations, bands, choirs, theatre groups, and dance companies from all levels of schooling, music and dance high schools, conservatories, academies, and associations throughout Italy.
Teatro Il Cerro, the Cusio heart of the event
In Casale Corte Cerro, a small town in the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province in Piedmont, the Teatro Il Cerro on Via XXV Aprile is one of the venues hosting the VCO phase of the competition. Alongside other local theatres—the Teatro Maggiore in Verbania and the Teatro Sociale in Omegna—the Cusio stage welcomes competitors' performances for several days before the finals move to Rome. It is a precious opportunity for the local public, who can attend a showcase of young performers from all over the peninsula for free.
Scholarships and the final in Rome
The hallmark of the event is its scholarships: not a single prize, but differentiated awards that the jury assigns based on the preparation and talent of the participants. In previous editions, over 20,000 euros in scholarships have been awarded in total. After the stage in Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, the competition concludes with a final phase in Rome, hosted in historic theatres of the capital such as the Teatro Italia and the Teatro Vittoria.
An event supported by the local area
The event enjoys the patronage of the Piedmont Region and the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, as well as the involved municipalities, including Casale Corte Cerro, Omegna, and Verbania. It is designed primarily for the world of education and the younger generations, offering them a real stage, a qualified jury, and the opportunity to engage with peers from all over Italy. For families and live arts enthusiasts in the Lake Orta and Cusio area, it is a spring appointment that brings music, dance, and theatre within the walls of the small Piedmontese village.
