Those who love ballet would be delighted to see these performances. For his first solo choreography for Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, Paul Lightfoot takes us on an introspective journey, presenting a ballet that he feels will mark a turning point in his personal and professional life. More than ever, the concept of live art informs this work, in which the choreographer explores his relationship with others and the essential collective dimension of a creative piece.

William Forsythe’s iconic ballet, Herman Schmerman, is the second work the choreographer created for the New York City Ballet.

Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest, a concert with Nicolas Delclaud & David Lefèvre, violins, Katherine Nikitine, piano followed by Monte-Carlo beer tasting, is arranged on Saturday 25 October 2025 at 7 pm in the Reformed Church of Monaco.

Les Concerts de la Voûte invites you to discover a duo of two great violinist friends: David Lefèvre, artistic director of Les Concerts de la Voûte and principal first violinist with the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, and Nicolas Delclaud, concertmaster of the second violins in the same orchestra.

They will perform works that are as moving as they are virtuosic, even breathtaking: Eugène Ysaÿe’s Sonata for Two Violins, Op. 27, and Jean-Marie Leclair’s Sonata for Two Violins, Op. 3.

The charm of the strings, their power and their virtuosity will transport you to a truly unique evening, illuminated by their friendship.

The famous arches of Stade Louis II

An Immersive exhibition “There Was a First Time” opened at Louis II Stadium to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

The exhibition is staged along the pedestrian walkway inside the stadium, newly renovated for the occasion, and will be open to the public for several months. It will highlight landmark firsts at the stadium: the first football match, the first world record, the first archery competition, the first concert, the first boxing gala and many others.

Thanks to archives, photographs and posters contributed by various organisations and bodies, visitors will have the opportunity to relive these historic occasions and gain a sense of the impact that the Louis II Stadium has had on sport and culture in Monaco.

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!
