For almost twenty years, Incanto Productions has carried its mission beyond Italy’s borders, nurturing deep roots while building new wings for the dreams that guide us. Every step of our journey has been marked by passion, perseverance, and the vision of spreading the Italian language and culture through theater, music, and education.

Living among different cultures has been an immense gift: the joy of sharing the beauty of our Italian heritage while also embracing the richness of other traditions. We are deeply moved when we meet those who left Italy many years ago yet continue to celebrate it with boundless love. Their devotion reminds us that, wherever life may take us, Italy lives in our hearts, in the stories, the songs, the families, and the communities we continue to reach through our productions and projects.

We all have roots that anchor us and wings that allow us to soar. It is in this balance that Incanto Productions finds its strength, its creativity, and its joy: the joy of knowing that, even far from home, Italy shines in every encounter, every celebration, and every dream we help bring to life.

There is something truly magical about witnessing students participate in our bilingual and multilingual events with such enthusiasm and joy. Their engagement and excitement serve as a powerful reminder of the transformative impact of learning through music, theater, and storytelling.

Edutainment has the unique ability to educate, inspire, and unite—breaking down barriers and fostering understanding across cultures and languages. Watching these young minds embrace new ideas and celebrate diversity lifts our hearts and reinforces our vision of a brighter, more connected world.

Together, through the arts, we can continue to empower the next generation to learn, grow, and make that vision a reality.

C'è qualcosa di veramente magico nel vedere gli studenti partecipare ai nostri eventi bilingue e multilingue con tanto entusiasmo e gioia. Il loro coinvolgimento e il loro entusiasmo ci ricordano quanto sia importante il mondo della scuola e l’apprendimento attraverso la musica e il teatro.

“L’edu-tainment” ha la straordinaria capacità di educare, ispirare e unire—abbattendo barriere e promuovendo la comprensione tra culture e lingue diverse. Vedere questi studenti abbracciare nuove idee e celebrare la diversità colma i nostri cuori di speranza e rafforza la nostra visione di un mondo più luminoso e connesso.

Insieme, attraverso l’arte, possiamo continuare a dare potere alle generazioni future affinché imparino, crescano e trasformino questa visione in realtà.

Children are the purest forms of soul, their innocence mirrors the beauty of art, the beauty of diversity and the essence of Love.

I bambini sono la parte piú pura dell'anima, nella loro innocenza si riflette la bellezza dell'arte, la bellezza della diversità e l'essenza dell'Amore.

We couldn't be more proud and delighted to collaborate with an incredible cast chosen for the reopening of “Sempreverde” Edumusical. Working closely with Marco Barberis of Punto Rec Studios (Torino, Piemonte), we are thrilled to announce that “Sempreverde” has become the first go-green edumusical for schools in the USA that study Italian language.

We are back and excited to embark on a journey, presenting “Sempreverde” in its bilingual version at various prestigious venues starting March 12, 2024, including the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center in New Jersey, the Playgroup Theatre in White Plains, the Queens Theatre in the Park in Queens, the Bayway Arts Center in East Islip, and the Suffolk Theatre in Riverhead (multilingual version).

The choreographies for this production are crafted by the talented Giorgia Picano while Christian Tourdot handles the video mapping, and Johna Mancini (E la Nave va - Federico Fellini) designed the props and costumes ( paper costumes by Mizuko Kaji, plastic and water props by Sarah Levasseur) . Co-directed by Andrew Rasmussen, this collaborative effort aims to bring authentic and original works to the younger learners, inspiring them to explore our beautiful country and learn the language.
