The OPMC is keeping its concepts that have become unmissable, such as the musical Happy Hour, concerts for young audiences/families, spiritual concerts and its "Mozart in Monaco" festival, which will be back for a 4th edition.

The Opéra de Monte-Carlo, under the artistic direction of Italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli, unveils its programme for the 24/25 season with 14 productions, including 5 operas on stage and 3 in concert version.

The Grimaldi Forum is not to be outdone, with concerts featuring exceptional artists such as pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, in recital on 27 June, and Italian singer Zucchero on 9 July.

Monte-Carlo Summer Festival. Since 1974, some of the world's biggest stars have performed at the Salle des Etoiles, the Opéra Garnier and, more recently, the Place du Casino: Frank Sinatra, Céline Dion, Cirque du Soleil, Tina Turner and, more recently, John Legend, Jamie Cullum and Rihanna...

To kick off the 2024 edition, the stars of French chanson will set the Monegasque stage alight on 6 July as part of their Stars 80 tour. The legendary troupe will be performing to mark the 20th anniversary of the Fight Aids Monaco charity. The big names in music will then take it in turns to light up the Principality's nights throughout the summer, from Sam Smith on 9 July and Diana Krall on 16 July, to a double performance by Lenny Kravitz on 15 and 16 August. And for the first time, the Monte-Carlo Summer Festival will be welcoming a comedian, and none other, as stand-up superstar, actor and presenter Trevor Noah takes to the stage at the Sporting for an unforgettable show on 29 July!

Orchestre Philarmonique de Monte-Carlo (OPMC) brings its expertise to the heart of the Cour d'Honneur of the Palais Princier for performances like no other. The idea was born in 1959 and revives a centuries-old tradition of the Grimaldi family. The orchestra is installed between the two arms of the seventeenth-century staircase, and the magic happens in an instant. The summer season opens on 11 July with pianist Alexandre Kantorow, conducted by James Gaffigan. A series of seven concerts under the stars promises magical moments in a historic venue.

Summer Festival is back and taking over the Music Bardu restaurant. The programme features a succession of up-and-coming artists and legends of the international music scene, for a summer rendezvous that's sure to get you dancing!
