Choral concert - Ein deutsches Requiem, 29 January 2024
After Rossini’s Stabat Mater last season, and Verdi’s Requiem this season, it’s now the turn of Johannes Brahms’ A German Requiem to hit the stage at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo. This sacred work, created in 1869, went on to become the composer’s ticket to glory. Requiem is the perfect work for Les Musiciens du Prince - Monaco, led by Gianluca Capuano, to faithfully reproduce the sounds of the time through their sympathetic approach to 19th century music.

Cecilia Bartoli presents an exceptional gala to open the traditional Rose Ball.
In 2008, she met Chinese pianist Lang Lang.

Opera - La Fille du régiment, 24, 26, 28 & 30 March 2024
When it was created, La Fille du régiment, a two-act comic opera, written in French by composer Gaetano Donizetti, got a lukewarm reception. It found a new lease of life with the original score presented in London’s Covent Garden, highlighting the role of Tonio. Jean-Louis Grinda directs this fun, light-hearted comedy in which Javier Camarena, probably the most famous Tonio of the time, returns once again after his interpretation of Alfredo last season.
Lyrical performance - Their Master’s Voice, 7 April 2024

Through theatrical narration and musical celebration, this original performance consists of emblematic airs from the baroque repertoire of the castrati.
