Monaco National Day 2020

The traditional celebrations for Monaco’s National Day have been slimmed down as a result of the resurgence of coronavirus, but not to worry as November 19 will remain a public holiday and the essentials remain in place.

Cecilia Bartoli et les Musiciens du Prince-Monaco

The Monte Carlo Opera presents a performance dedicated to Monaco National Day in the Salle Princes of the Grimaldi Forum. The event of the day will commence at 18:30 but guests can only attend if they have been invited by the Palace.

Friday 20

Carmen – fully reserved

Another Monte Carlo Opera performance, ‘Carmen,’ with music from George Bizet, will be performed in the Salle Princes of the Grimaldi Forum from 18:30.

The event was listed as free to attend on the ‘Culture & Vous A Monaco‘ program, and perhaps partly owing to this, the show is now fully reserved.

Saturday 21

Imprévus 1

The Monte Carlo Ballet presents ‘Imprévus 1’, another event listed on the ‘Culture & Vous A Monaco‘ program. The Théâtre des Variétés will see two performances on November 21, the first being at 14:30 while the second will begin at 18:30, although it is recommended to arrive an hour before the show.

Tickets to the performance are going for a rare rate of 5 euros each, and can be bought at the ticket office in the Atrium of the Casino de Monte-Carlo. For more information regarding the performance, click here.

Sunday 22

Carmen – fully reserved

The Monte Carlo Opera performance, ‘Carmen’ with music from George Bizet, will be performed in the Salle Princes of the Grimaldi Forum again, but this time from 15:00.

The event was listed as free to attend on the ‘Culture & Vous A Monaco‘ program, and perhaps partly owing to this, the show is now also fully reserved.

In the cinema this week

Unfortunately, the Cinema des Beaux-Arts has been closed until further notice as a result of the total lockdown of France and the curfew in the Principality. Look out for updates in future editions of ‘This Week in Monaco’.
