Monte-Carlo Spring (Performing) Arts Festival
The Monte-Carlo Spring Arts Festival (Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo) was inspired by Princess Grace in 1970. Princess Caroline of Hanover has been its president since 1984.
A topical program of first-class concerts, master classes, meetings with maestros and composers with the involvement of young talents from Music Academies will be thrilling to all audiences.
This unique event includes a number of concerts, lectures, performances and master classes in the Principality’s iconic venues: Opéra Garnier, Oceanographic Museum, Rainier III Auditorium, Amphithéâtre (One Monte-Carlo) and Théâtre des Variétés.
