OPMC - Concert Jeune Public "Une fête de cirque" (A circus party)

On December 20, 1974, a circus-themed exhibition opened in Monaco. Numerous posters, models, costumes and objects from the world of the circus were on display for the public to admire. It was in this year that the first Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival got off to a flying start, the brainchild of Prince Rainier III, a circus enthusiast whose passion had remained unknown to the public until then.

Here, in music and through time, is the gentle tale of a circus artist who lived, from the sidelines, one of the world's greatest circus adventures!

Are you ready? Let's get to it!
