Salle Garnier Opera House Tours and Activities

Salle Garnier Opera House


Enjoy a night of opera in this extravagant theater in Monte Carlo's opulent casino, which features gilded columns and fresco-lined ceilings.

Book tickets for a show at the lavish Salle Garnier Opera House, an extravagant venue which stages world-class opera productions. The names of famous composers, such as Mozart and Verdi, are written above the arches here. Their works are often performed on the glamorous stage. Watch famous stars of the opera world performing arias and recitatives.

The auditorium is named after Charles Garnier, who designed the venue in the late 19th century. He also created the famous Palais Garnier in Paris. Compare images of the beauty of the two structures. Gustave Eiffel, the famed architect, also contributed to the creation of the opera house, designing the steel beams that provide structural support

Join one of the casino’s morning tours to see the Salle Garnier. Follow your guide around the various rooms of the Belle Époque building. Marvel at landscape paintings that cover entire walls and intricately detailed bas-reliefs. Admire the gold leaf patterns covering the interior of the opera house and the gleaming circular chandelier that lights it.

Dress up smartly for a night at the opera. The programme could offer anything from Bizet to Berlioz. Opera Monte-Carlo, the in-house ensemble, provides a diverse programme that includes old favourites by Puccini and Wagner and lesser-known works by composers such as Catalani. Check the listings for classical recitals and ballet performances as well.

The venue also hosts the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival, which attracts big names to play on its stage every November. Relax to free-form tunes performed by jazz legends and future stars in this lively celebration of music.

Spend a night at the Grimaldi Forum to experience more of Monaco's cultural scene. The sleek, modern venue hosts theatre and musicals, as well as art exhibitions, throughout the year and complements the programme of Opera Monte-Carlo.

The Salle Garnier is located in the Casino Monte-Carlo, a 10-minute walk from the station in Monaco. Dress in formal wear to ensure entry. Find the listings for each season on Opera Monte-Carlo's website.
