Monaco is once again opening its iconic Fort Antoine to the next generation of performers, as the fourth edition of Scène Ouverte – Les Talents du Fort returns on Friday, July 10.

Organised by the Direction des Affaires Culturelles de Monaco, the event offers young artists aged 16 to 30 the chance to perform under professional conditions before a live audience in one of the Principality’s most atmospheric venues. The initiative forms part of ongoing efforts to support and promote emerging creative talent.

This year’s edition introduces a major new incentive: one standout performer will be selected to represent Monaco at the Expo 2027 Belgrade. The international showcase, set to take place in Serbia’s capital, promises a rare opportunity for global exposure, placing the chosen artist on a world stage before an international audience.

Open to musicians, singers, dancers, actors, circus performers and DJs, the competition is aimed at young people connected to Monaco—whether by nationality, education or residency.

Applications must be submitted online by May 17.
