Baroque Music - "Stella Orientalis - La Nativité à la Renaissance - Ensemble Céladon"
Tuesday 5 December 2023, at 7 pm, Chapelle de la Miséricorde
The glorious story of Christ's birth was a fertile source of inspiration for Renaissanc musicians. Stella Orientalis depicts a very European interpretation of the Nativity and Epiphany, with a multilingual tour of 16th century Christmas carols. On this journey across Europe, we meet numerous composers (Praetorius, Ortiz, Del Encina) with rather different approaches to the same subject: Christmas Eve and all its mystery and wonder, the adoration of the magi and the shepherds. Paulin Bündgen, countertenor and conductor • Clara Coutouly, soprano • Nolwenn le Guern, viol • Florent Marie, lute

Exhibition - "Pier Paolo Calzolari - Casa ideale"
From Friday 17 November 2023 to Sunday 7 April 2024, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco - Villa Paloma
Pier Paolo Calzolari is known for the formal originality of a multidisciplinary art (painting, sculpture, but also performances understood in the sense of "acts of passion"), often using organic materials such as tobacco leaves, fire, or frost to create "installation pieces" that push the boundaries of contemporary art. This retrospective exhibition, entitled "Casa ideale", is a rare opportunity to discover the world of an artist who has left his mark on the history of art through a mostly unconventional approach to the various artistic forms.

It’s called "Bisoubye x" and as the name suggests, the show is about having to say goodbye to a certain number of things in my life to be able to move on to the next chapter. Il y aura des blagues en français and there’ll be jokes in English. It’s a live show so there are no subtitles, donc ramène ta pinte et ton dictionnaire !

Theatre - "Le malade imaginaire en LA majeur"
Thursday 7, Friday 8 and Saturday 9 December at 8 pm, and Sunday 10 December at 4.30 pm, Théâtre des Muses
The musical adaptation of Molière's masterpiece. Argan, a severe hypochondriac, plans to marry his daughter to a doctor, to ensure he always has a physician on hand to tend to his endless illnesses. But the young Angélique is in love with Cléante, and has no intention of going along with her father's wishes... This is a show packed with catchy tunes sung masterfully with piano accompaniment, arguments, a certain amount of coughing, a healthy dose of laughter, and as in all of Molière's comedies, a whole lot of love! The light-hearted, surprising adaptation sees four artists share a dozen roles, and though the titular invalid may be imaginary, the stakes could not be more real.

Tuesday 12 December 2023, at 7 pm, Chapelle de la Miséricorde
In the 17th century, "marian devotions" were the dominant form of religious expression, driven by the climate of piety that had reigned in the Kingdom of France since the Council of Trent and the Catholic Counter-Reformation.

The programme includes a collection of intimately moving motets, drawing on an extraordinary palette of emotions with a theatrical style that inspires and exults spirituality.
