And those who love music will enjoy the Chamber Music Concert by the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra “Mozart in Monaco” with Fatma Saïd (soprano), Martin Helmchen (piano), Antje Weithaas (violin), Marie-Elisabeth Hecker (cello), Marie-B. Barrière-Bilote (clarinet), organized on Sunday 5 February 2023, at 3 pm, in Opéra de Monte-Carlo – Salle Garnier. On the program: music by Mozart and Schubert.
And in the theatre there is a play “Darius” on stage of Théâtre des Muses on Saturday 4 February at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday 5 February at 4:30 p.m.
It tells the story of an unexpected encounter between an extraordinary mother and a great perfumer. A challenge that will change their lives forever. Claire hires Paul, a famous perfume designer, for an almost impossible mission: to allow her son Darius to satisfy his passion for travel when it is impossible for him to move. Using the places and people loved by Darius, they will find an unexpected path, thanks to this frail and vivacious, immaterial and persistent feeling: perfume.
Don’t forget about the National Elections that will be held on 5 February 2023 from 8 am to 7 pm in Espace Léo Ferré.
There are several interesting exhibition going on in Monaco these days. If you still haven’t seen “Les Carabiniers du Prince” opened at the Monte-Carlo station till February 16, 2023, check it out. Twelve photographs dating from 1890 to 2022 are presented, in chronological order.
The history of the Prince’s Carabinieri Corps is closely linked to that of Monaco and the Princely Family. This prestigious military unit, 124 Carabinieri strong, provides daily guarding of the Prince’s Palace, the safety of the Sovereign Family, its property and dependencies. Missions dedicated to honorary services are also an integral part of the rhythm of their activities. Its motto, “Honor, Loyalty and Dedication”, gives meaning to the daily commitment of the Carabinieri.
