AMCA Presents a Lecture: Christian Dior, the Inspiration of Nature
2025-11-10 18:30 - 20:00 | Théâtre des Variétés, 1, Boulevard Albert 1er, Monaco
The Monegasque Association for the Knowledge of the Arts (AMCA) will present its second conference on November 10th at the Théâtre des Variétés, with the theme: “Christian Dior, the Inspiration of Nature.”
The gardens of Granville were a formative place for Christian Dior, where a sensitivity to nature took root, a sensitivity that still permeates the world of the House of Dior today.
Christian Dior, the Inspiration of Nature
Born in Granville, the “Monaco of the North” in the Manche region, Christian Dior flourished as a child on the family estate. Built in the Anglo-Norman style, it is surrounded by a garden that would forever mark him, and whose design he helped to create alongside his mother, Madeleine. This close connection with nature, plants, and flowers would influence him once he became a couturier, creating in 1947 the “flower-woman” silhouette, inseparable from the New Look. Both a refuge and a source of inspiration, Christian Dior’s gardens are inseparable from his life and work. The floral and plant repertoire became one of the defining characteristics of the House of Dior.
MONDAY, November 10, 2025 / 6:30 PM
Christian Dior, Inspired by Nature
Led by Brigitte Richart
Curator of the Christian Dior Museum, General Curator of the exhibition

Melodramma in four acts
Music by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)
Libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni, based on a scenario by François Auguste Ferdinand Mariette reworked by Camille du Locle
Premiere: Cairo, Khedival Opera House, 24 december 1871
Production of the Rome Opera House
Set in a pseudo-historic vision of Ancient Egypt, Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida depicts a dramatic clash between Aida and Amneris, haughty princesses battling for the valiant warrior Radames’s love. Aida had been commissioned for the inauguration of the Suez Canal, hence its reputation for cinemascopic dimensions – elephants included. The first Monaco performance in 1884 had to suffer cuts in the mass scenes due to the size of the Salle Garnier. In 2025, this poses problems no longer since Davide Livermore and his team can work in the expanse of the Grimaldi Forum where they have already proven an amazing creativity in using modern technology for breathtaking scenery.
At closer examination, however, her numerous arias, duets and trios reveal Aida’s intimate chamber musical side, which dominates most of the opera’s acts. Verdi’s writing for the voice and the colourful orchestral part are at their best when depicting what were often called “female weapons”: charm and seduction, slander, deception, and – once defeated – self-destruction and ruining of the cherished object. In such situations, beautiful and refined singing counts. Enjoy a stellar cast, which shows you both sides of this magnificent opera: its grandeur, and its fragility!

Monaco Celebrates National Day on November 19
2025-11-19
🇲🇨 The Monegasque National Day, also known as Sovereign Prince’s Day or La Fête du Prince, is one of Monaco’s most important holidays, celebrated every November 19 – this year falling on a Tuesday. It’s an official public holiday honoring the reigning Prince and the Principality.
The tradition ties the date to the Prince’s patron saint, though Prince Rainier III chose his enthronement date, November 19, which coincides with Saint Rainier of Arezzo. His son, Prince Albert II, continues the custom in tribute.
In the weeks leading up to the celebration, Monaco turns red and white, with flags and decorations covering streets, buildings, and balconies.
🎆 Festivities include:
Fireworks at Port Hercule on the evening of November 18
A special Mass at Monaco Cathedral attended by the Princely Family
A military parade at the Prince’s Palace Square
City-wide celebrations filled with music, flags, and joy
A funfair at Port Hercule, open throughout the holiday
On the evening of the 18th, spectacular fireworks light up Port Hercule, marking a moment of sharing and unity for Monegasques and visitors alike.
On the 19th, celebrations begin with Mass at Monaco Cathedral, attended by Prince Albert II and the Princely Family, followed by a military parade on the Place du Palais.
The funfair in Port Hercule will also be open on the National day.
The day is a proud display of Monegasque unity, tradition, and loyalty to the Sovereign Prince.
