Consorzio Marche Spettacolo

What Consorzio Marche Spettacolo does

Consorzio Marche Spettacolo is an Italian non-profit consortium founded in 2010 and headquartered in Ancona, in the Marche region. It functions as a membership-based coordination and promotion body for live performing arts organizations operating across the Marche region. The consortium's member organizations (consorziati) span opera, theater, dance, music, contemporary circus, and children's theater categories, with named members including Fondazione Pergolesi Spontini, AMAT, TAU Teatri Antichi Uniti, and Stupor Circus. The consortium aggregates, promotes, and coordinates programming on behalf of these members rather than producing or ticketing events itself; audiences are directed to individual member venues for ticket purchase.

The consortium's core product is the marchespettacolo.com website platform, which functions as a regional event aggregation and discovery portal. The site features a categorized events calendar (music, theater, children's theater, opera, dance, contemporary circus, other activities), a news feed, a professional database for performing arts professionals (Database Professionisti dello Spettacolo), school engagement projects (Progetti Scuola), and a lyrical singing competition (Concorso Lirico). Distribution is supported by an email newsletter, a WhatsApp broadcast channel, and social media profiles on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok. The platform is delivered in both Italian and English. Technology appears to be a standard WordPress CMS rather than proprietary infrastructure.

The business model is membership-fee based, with performing arts organizations joining as consorziati and paying recurring dues in exchange for aggregated marketing, cross-promotion, regional coordination, and inclusion in the centralized event calendar. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The consortium has a staff of 5, no external investors, no parent company, no funding rounds, and no disclosed M&A activity. A minor partnership with the Italian Servizio Civile national youth civic service program provides supplementary operational capacity. Geographic scope is strictly regional, confined to the Marche region and its provinces of Ancona, Macerata, and Pesaro-Urbino.

Product overview

• C.Re.S.Co. - Coordinamento delle Realtà della Scena Contemporanea: Italian national network coordinating contemporary dance and performing arts organizations, providing aggregated communication, advocacy, and project support to member companies. Directly comparable to CMS's consortium model for performing arts in Italy, though focused nationally on contemporary scene.

Broad incumbents

• IETM - International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts: International network of performing arts organizations and professionals providing information sharing, advocacy, and meeting infrastructure. Comparable to CMS as a membership-based performing arts coordination body but operating at European/global scale.
• AGIS - Associazione Generale Italiana dello Spettacolo: Italy's national general association for performing arts, coordinating promotion, advocacy, and data collection for Italian live entertainment. Comparable to CMS as a performing arts aggregation and representation body, but operating nationally with significantly broader scope and resources.
• PERFORMART - Federazione Nazionale dello Spettacolo dal Vivo: Italian national federation aggregating performing arts workers and organizations in live entertainment. Comparable to CMS as a consortia of performing arts interests, but with national labor and industry representation scope.
• APAP - Association of Performing Arts Professionals: US-based membership association for performing arts presenters, managers, and agents, providing industry data, conferences, and professional development. Comparable to CMS as a performing arts membership aggregator, though US-focused and serving a different funding ecosystem.
