Monte-Carlo Ballet Season 2009

In 1985, H.R.H. the Princess of Hanover recreated a new company in the Principality, a project initiated by her mother, Princess Grace, and became the President of the company, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo.

Since the first performance of Serge de Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Monaco in 1911, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo became the first official company of the Principality of Monaco, performing throughout the year at the Opera de Monte-Carlo as well as in the most famous theaters and venues abroad. Determined to keep this ballet company at the highest professional level, and to enrich the repertoire with creations and contemporary works, the President of Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo offered the direction to Jean-Christophe Maillot in 1993.
