A particularly intense cultural month
December was especially busy for Princess Caroline. Alongside Prince Albert II and her daughter Charlotte Casiraghi, she inaugurated Monaco’s new media library. Renamed the Caroline Media Library, the former Louis Notari Library is now housed within the Ilot Pasteur development, in a fully redesigned 2,500 m² space capable of welcoming up to 300 people.
A few days later, she announced a historic appointment at the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra (OPMC). Nathalie Stutzmann, 60, will take up her post on 1 September 2026 as the institution’s 19th artistic and musical director. She becomes the first woman to hold this position since the orchestra’s creation in 1856. “It is a great responsibility to choose the person who will not only maintain the level of excellence achieved, but also bring a new vision,” she said.
Through these ten key moments, Princess Caroline once again demonstrated her unwavering commitment to culture, education and Monaco’s institutions. From contemporary art and classical music to literature and training, her 2025 agenda reflects the diversity of her interests and her essential role in enhancing Monaco’s cultural influence.
