The last weekend before holidays have arrived. It’s your chance to finish Christmas shopping and decoration of the house. And when you are done you can finally relax. Here are some suggestions what you could do.
Monaco Dance Forum has organized the screening of THE DANCER (2016) in collaboration with the Institut audiovisuel de Monaco on Sunday 21 December 2025 at 11:00 am in Auditorium Camille Blanc – Grimaldi Forum Monaco.
Born in the American Midwest, nothing in her background destined farm girl Loïe Fuller to become the toast of Europe’s Belle Epoque cabarets, even less to dance at the Paris Opera. Hidden behind metres of silk, her arms extended by long wooden rods, Loïe reinvents her body on stage and enthralls her audiences a little more every night with her revolutionary Serpentine dance. Dazzling the capital, she becomes an icon, the blazing symbol of a generation. Eminent admirers fall at her feet: Toulouse-Lautrec, the Lumière Brothers, Rodin. Even if the physical effort risks destroying her back, even if the glare of the stage lights sears her eyes, she will never falter in the quest to perfect her art. But her meeting with Isadora Duncan – a young prodigy hungry for glory – will lead to the downfall of this icon of the early 20th century…
“If trumpets could speak” a journey through the History of the Trumpet, will be held on Saturday 20 December 2025 at 7 pm in the Reformed Church of Monaco.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s wildly successful musical CATS will be at the Monte-Carlo Opera for two exceptional weeks, from December 14 to 31, 2025.
Inspired by T. S. Eliot’s poetic collection “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats,” this “groundbreaking musical” (Daily Express) weaves a captivating work blending music, dance, and poetry.
Once a year, on a very special night, the cats gather for their grand “Jellicle Ball.” Under the watchful eye of Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, one of them is chosen to ascend to the mysterious “Heaviside Layer,” to be reborn into a new life full of promise.
With its “timeless music, stunning sets and a remarkable cast” (Daily Mirror), breathtaking choreography and unforgettable tunes—including the famous “Memory”—CATS is an extraordinary show, a magical theatrical experience.
Sports fans will enjoy the Basket Betclic ELITE Match – Day 12: Monaco – Nanterre is held on Sunday 21 December 2025 at 3 pm on Stade Louis II.
And don’t forget about the exhibitions. For example the New National Museum of Monaco is dedicating an original exhibition to cacti and succulent plants on 06.07.2025 – 11.01.2026, in collaboration with the YVES SAINT LAURENT Museum in Marrakech, which initiated the project in 2024. Curated by Marc Jeanson and Laurent Le Bon, with scenography by Jasmin Oezcebi, “Cactus” offers a dual perspective, botanical and artistic, on these plants.
Of course there are other interesting events taking place in Monaco. If you want to learn more about them visit our Calendar.
So have fun and enjoy your weekend!
