International Youth Vocal Competition CantaCosta 2026

Art, Looking to the Future (May 1-2 | Serrallo Theatre, Tarragona)

CantaCosta 2026 is a unique platform where talent meets professional recognition, and performance gains strength in dialogue with the sea and the thousand-year history of Catalonia. We believe that a true voice can not only captivate an audience but also overcome any boundaries.

Our competition is created for young people dedicated to academic and popular vocal performance. It is a bridge between intensive work in the classroom and the big stage, between the student's bench and the world of professional art.

For participants:

Unprecedented jury: Your performance will be evaluated by recognized masters – opera and chamber singers, composers, heads of leading European conservatories.

Dream stage: Performance at the famous **Serrallo Theatre** with a panoramic view of the bustling Port of Tarragona, where modernity meets antiquity.

International resonance: Thanks to a consortium of partner companies from different countries, thousands of vocal art connoisseurs will learn about your talent.

Serious competition and dialogue: Meeting worthy rivals and an open, professional analysis of the performance from the jury members.
