About The Hidden Voices

Les Voix Cachées is the festival-competition that brings emerging vocal talents into the spotlight in Saint-Vincent: voices that have remained in the shadows, among choirs and backstage, waiting for their moment. In the Sala Gran Paradiso of the Grand Hôtel Billia, twelve finalists selected from all over Italy perform in front of a jury of professionals chaired by vocal coach Lalla Francia, each with a cover song and an original track. Free admission by reservation.

A Stage for Hidden Voices

Les Voix Cachées is an original musical festival-competition held in Saint-Vincent, in the province of Aosta, within the prestigious setting of the Grand Hôtel Billia. Its mission is declared in its name: to give a voice to talents that remain "hidden," those who sing in choirs or work behind the scenes, waiting for the right opportunity to emerge. The festival is aimed at emerging vocalists from all over Italy, offering them a stage and a showcase in front of industry professionals.

Twelve Finalists and an Expert Jury

For the 2026 edition, the third of the event, twelve finalists have been selected from online applications, chosen by vocal coach Lalla Francia not solely based on vocal power but on the authenticity of their performance. Each finalist performs a cover song and an original track. The jury, chaired by Lalla Francia, brings together names from the world of music and entertainment, including vocal coaches, producers, radio authors, and artists, tasked with evaluating the performances and identifying the most compelling voice.

An Evening of Music and Entertainment

The event, hosted in the Sala Gran Paradiso, is not just a competition but also a show, with special guests and segments dedicated to the world of voice, from singing to dubbing. Organized by the Casino de la Vallée, Les Voix Cachées enriches the cultural calendar of Saint-Vincent and the Aosta Valley, with a free admission formula by reservation that makes it accessible to a wide audience, including music enthusiasts and the curious.
