WHAT IS THE IDENTITY OF THIS FESTIVAL?

The Monte-Carlo Summer Festival has built its reputation on the talents of legendary artists who have graced the stage of the Salle des Etoiles. Many of these performers return for concerts, bringing along the shared excellence that unites all artists in this programme. They each represent the pinnacle of artistry through their unique voices, music, and stage presence. With every edition, we include an increasing number of emerging artists who are equally popular and esteemed.
