Dance production chronicles struggles of Tunisians

Artmonte-carlo is a new art exhibition with the intention of establishing itself on the French Riviera as a leading artistic platform for contemporary art, modern art and contemporary design, in order to meet the demands of the many collectors and art lovers in the region. For the second edition, which took place from April 29 to 30 at Grimaldi Forum, Sabrina Monte-Carlo, associated with the prestigious B&B Italia furniture brand, tastefully decorated three relaxing areas at the forum: armchairs in the bar area, a lounge seating area within the exhibition and in the press/reading centre. Prince Albert, accompanied by the Princess of Hanover, honoured the salon with his presence at the pre-opening on April 28. “The event, like last year, was a real success and we are delighted to support the idea of the ‘art fair’ as ‘museums pop up art fairs’ of a controlled size, which distinguishes itself from the formats and concepts of the main traditional art fairs. Taking place in a refined and human-sized setting, artmonte-carlo is a reflexion of the place, pleasant and with international influence,” the organisers said.

The last visit of the Company to the city was in February 1996 at the Palais de Beaulieu, with a programme of "Ballets Russes": Scheherazade, The Prodigal Son and Prince Igor. Last week’s three performances of Cendrillon, with choreography by Jean-Christophe Maillot, a play created in 1999 and danced more than 200 times across the world, received an ovation each evening from the Swiss public. The Monaco Tourism and Convention Bureau, represented by its communication department, organised the Premiere evening, a successful operation with the Swiss press and their MICE guests.
