Milano Musica was founded in 1992 with the aim to spread the knowledge and appreciation of the vast repertoire of 20th-century and contemporary music. Since it began the annual festival has alternated between monographic editions and more general ones, proposing a wider selection of music and composers to present a global view including the most recent works of the new generation. The festival is organized in collaboration with Teatro alla Scala and all the concerts are broadcast by RaiRadio3.

Operosa Festival promotes young Balkan opera talent and brings contemporary interpretations to a modern audience. The programme focuses on repertoire suited to young singers and works with established international guest artistic directors to showcase opera as a modern artform. Operosa was founded in 2006 by mezzo soprano Katherine Haataja and launched its first open-air festival in 2007 with an updated production of “Don Giovanni” in Varna, Bulgaria, before expanding into Serbia and Montenegro.

Le Grand Bain is a new festival that immerses audiences in the huge diversity of styles that dance has to offer. Taking spectators on a journey through aesthetics, from the most hybrid forms to the “purest”, from experimental performances to more “popular” ones, from young to established artists, Le Grand Bain gathers companies from France and abroad. It is organized by Le Gymnase, one of 9 Centres of Choreographic Development. The 9-day festival is held in venues in Roubaix and the Lille area.
