CMC is a new international baroque singing competition, named after Francesco Cavalli from Crema and Claudio Monteverdi from Cremona, fathers of baroque opera. The Competition allows to enhance a unique artistic and musical heritage, creating a synergic bridge between territories, traditions and institutions.
The project is part of a context of true Renaissance of baroque opera, incentivizing and encouraging young artists to specialize in this genre. The Competition also aims to create job opportunities for the best young talents involved.

“Finally a united territory, with Cremona and Crema together, the Teatro Ponchielli and the Bottesini Association, becomes the identity of an artistic expression of the highest level and contributes to enriching the cultural proposal linked to opera singing that Italy offers.”
