Monaco and the United States, a cultural partnership
Monaco is exhibiting beyond its borders. In addition to Princess in Dior, the Principality is currently presenting a series of photographs in partnership with the Prince Albert II Foundation at the Kennedy Centre. Other photos are on display at the French Embassy in the United States. The second exhibition focuses on Legends of Monaco.
But the most eagerly anticipated event of the year is without doubt an American performance by the Monte Carlo Ballets. It will take place in November at the Kennedy Centre and the dancers will perform the ballet Cinderella.
