Summary

Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo will stage a new version of Core Meu at the Salle des Princes, Grimaldi Forum Monaco, from Tuesday 28 to Thursday 30 April 2026, with performances beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at €25.
Choreographed by Jean-Christophe Maillot with assistant choreographer Bernice Coppieters, Core Meu draws inspiration from the trance-inducing tarantella of Italy’s Apulia region.
