Monaco’s Premiere of a Charitable Holiday Spectacle

Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco, joined by Princess Stéphanie and Camille Gottlieb, attended the premiere of “Monaco sous les Étoiles” on Monday afternoon at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille, the principality’s iconic big top venue.

The new production, conceived under the high patronage of Princess Charlene, blends hip-hop dance, visual poetry and magical storytelling. Created by the Compagnie HASPOP and directed by Hassan El Hajjami, the show enchanted audiences of all ages with its poetic narrative.

Born from Princess Charlene’s expressed desire to provide children with a moment of wonder during the holiday season, the performance also serves a philanthropic purpose. All proceeds are directed to the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, which promotes drowning prevention and education through sport, and to the Monaco Society for the Protection of Animals (SPA), an organization presided over by the princess.

Additional performances are scheduled for Dec. 23 at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
