A festive December at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo

In December, the Opéra de Monte-Carlo presents three major events to, bring more sparkling lights to the holiday season.

On December 2, Italian tenor Vittorio Grigolo will pay tribute to Frank Sinatra in a unique crossover program, accompanied by an orchestra and a big band for an evening full of swing.

On December 21, join us for an exceptional concert with religious music: Johann Sebastian Bach's Christmas Oratorio! Under the baton of Gianluca Capuano, Les Musiciens du Prince performing on period instruments, and the choir of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo will bring this beloved work to life. To elevate this performance, a prestigious quartet of soloists – Regula Mühlemann, Anna Stephany, Daniel Behle, and Kartal Karagedik – will grace the stage. A pensive moment to bring some introspection to the festive period through music!

Finally, from December 20 to 31, we will present five performances of Donizetti's comic opera L'elisir d'amore, in a joyful and colorful production featuring a wonderful cast: Regula Mühlemann will portray Adina, Vittorio Grigolo will perform Nemorino, with his famous aria "Una furtiva lagrima", Davide Luciano will be Belcore, and Nicola Alaimo will be Dulcamara.

To close the year in style, and for the very first time, the Opéra de Monte-Carlo organises an unforgettable New Year's Eve for you. To welcome in the New Year with elegance, attend a performance of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore in the historic Salle Garnier, followed by an exquisite dinner at the prestigious international art gallery Hauser & Wirth. This rare opportunity to combine the magic of opera with gastronomy and contemporary art will be a night where music and champagne are savored with elegance.
