The 2022-2023 season is supported by the Princess of Hanover, and promises an exceptional, tribute-packed  programme.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra (OPMC) has just revealed its programme for the 2022-2023 season. After two complicated years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Kazuki Yamada, Artistic and Musical Director of the OPMC, announces a \u201chighly diverse new season\u201d for \u201cone of the best orchestras in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mozart is making a big comeback. After the success of last year’s mini-festival, the OPMC has decided to expand on it, bringing back “Mozart \u00e0 Monaco”. Five concerts are devoted to the composer and his great classics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wonderful joint venture that is not to be missed involves the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra choir for the performance of Carmina Burana<\/i>  in June 2023 at the Grimaldi Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of exceptional events, two concert films will also be organised. The first film will be The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari<\/i> and the second will be 2001: A Space Odyssey<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s plenty for children to enjoy too. Six concerts are scheduled for them on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons. The OPMC called on prestigious guests such as Julie Depardieu and Macha Make\u00efeff to narrate, which is sure to delight the young audience. The works will be diverse, including Homer\u2019s Odyssey <\/i>or the famous Nutcracker<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tribute-packed season <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next year, the OPMC will hold two evenings dedicated to great names of Monaco, one in honour of Princess Grace and the other in celebration of Prince Albert I. In the latter case, a concert version will be performed of the last opera commissioned by the Prince: D\u00e9janire<\/i>, which was created by Saint-Sa\u00ebns in Monte Carlo in 1911, but fell into obscurity at the outbreak of the First World War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, we will also celebrate the 150th anniversary of Serge Rachmaninoff. To mark the occasion, three concerts will be dedicated to him, including one in the courtyard of the Prince’s Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Lozakovich: A young artist in residence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the OPMC welcomes a young  artist-in-residence to show what the new generation is capable of. 21-year-old violinist Daniel Lozakovich will give three concerts, including one at the Prince’s Palace. The artist stated, \u201cIt is a great honour for me to be the artist in residence. I\u2019m going to try out a new programme that will give me the opportunity to play chamber music.\u201d He added \u201cthis musical adventure will be one of the greatest moments in my career to date.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
