December is a festive month in Monaco in more ways than one, as Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo celebrates the 60th birthday of Choreographer-Director Jean-Christophe Maillot
In a welcome initiative at a time when all theatrical productions have had to be cancelled, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo - in association with Monaco Info and France 3 Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur - are screening Jean-Christophe Maillot’s acclaimed production of Casse-Noisette Compagnie.
Jerome Robbins, Gene Kelly and Jean-Christophe Maillot - three diverse and well-known choreographic names to conjure with, and three masters of their art whose creations will be performed on the Riviera this Christmas.
This month, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo will give audiences their first experience of the company’s own staging of Jean-Christophe Maillot’s The Taming of the Shrew.
There’s always something new and interesting emerging from the rehearsal studios of Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, so it’s with keen anticipation that we await not just one but two World Premieres which make up the programme Corpus later this month.
Heralding the arrival of spring this month, Monte-Carlo presents its annual festival, Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo, a celebration of music, song and dance.
For the second time in his career, Jean-Christophe Maillot - Choreographer-Director of Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo - has been honoured with the prestigious Prix de Lausanne Life Time Award, for his dedication to the world of dance.
Traditionally, December on the Riviera sparkles with a tempting array of concerts and productions, so here we take a look at some of the cultural highlights of the Christmas season.
This December, our focus falls on the Monte-Carlo Ballet, which has an impressive and eclectic line-up of productions to take dance-lovers through the festive season.
Two exhibitions currently underway at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco highlight the important role played by dance in reinforcing Monaco’s standing on the international cultural scene.
