There are so many reasons to love Monaco.
It’s an exceptional place where anything is possible: where luck finds those who come to meet it with a smile. A parade of experiences and memories await you under the Mediterranean sun... Here, Italian mezzo-soprano star Cécilia Bartoli tells us about her passion for the Principality.
Let’s fall in love with Monte-Carlo!
What do you love about Monaco?
Cécilia Bartoli: That’s easy – the Opéra de Monte-Carlo! Not only is it a stunning building with beautiful views out over the Mediterranean, but it is also known far and wide as a top-class venue – a reputation that has only grown over the centuries.
What is your best memory of Monaco?
C.B: It’s got to be my Monaco debut at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo in The Barber of Seville – over 30 years ago now.
In a word, Monaco for you is…
C.B: Home!
