The "Toti Dal Monte" International Competition for Singers, inaugurated in 1969 through the efforts of the Theatre of Treviso, immediately brought itself to the attention of the musical world by virtue of its prestige and conceptual difference. This is, in fact, the first competition in Italy and throughout the world to offer its winners not simply a money prize but also a debut on stage in the very operas upon which the competition itself is based.  
In its 29 editions, this event has awarded a grand total of 172 singers, many of whom have appeared on the stages of the best-known theatres around the world. To name just a few of these winners: Ghena Dimitrova, Mariella Devia, Alida Ferrarini, Ferruccio Furlanetto, Simone Alaimo, Fiamma Izzo D'Amico, Natale De Carolis, Francesca Provvisionato and Ildebrando D'Arcangelo.  
With the 1996 edition, the Competition was enriched by the addition of the "Bellusi Spumanti Prize", a scholarship totalling twelve million lire and made available by the company of that name in Valdobbiadene. The award will be presented to the best lead singer in the opera being presented as part of the Competition, a choice made by the public attending the three subscribed performances.  

In collaboration with the Teatro Sociale of Rovigo  
Prizes totalling one hundred twenty-four million five hundred thousand (102,500,000) lire (including The Bellussi Spumanti prize, totalling twelve million [12,000,000] lire for the best singer in a leading role)
