Let the Memory live again!

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record-breaking musical CATS comes to the Opéra de Monte-Carlo for 2 weeks only from 14 to 31 December 2025. 

Adapted from TS Eliot’s ‘Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats’, this "groundbreaking musical" (Daily Express) comes together in a sparkling fusion of music, dance and verse. 

On just one special night of the year, all Jellicle cats meet at the Jellicle Ball where Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, makes the Jellicle choice and announces which of them will go up to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life. 

With "timeless music, spectacular sets and a superb cast" (Daily Mirror), breathtaking choreography and of course the unforgettable ‘Memory’, CATS is a magical musical like no other. 

Let CATS thrill you once again, but don’t miss out on a seat - act fast and book your tickets today! “It's the cat's whiskers" (The Times).

Opera de Monte Carlo

 

The Opéra de Monte-Carlo is an opera house which is part of the Monte Carlo Casino located in the Principality of Monaco.

With the lack of cultural diversions available in Monaco in the 1870s, Prince Charles III, along with the Société des bains de mer, decided to include a concert hall as part of the casino. The main public entrance to the hall was from the casino, while Charles III's private entrance was on the western side. It opened in 1879 and became known as the Salle Garnier, after the architect Charles Garnier, who designed it.

During the renovation of the Salle Garnier in 2004–05, the company presented operas at the Salle des Princes in the local Grimaldi Forum, a modern conference and performance facility where Les Ballets de Monte Carlo and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra regularly perform.
