Opéra de Monte-Carlo
Charles Garnier, the designer of the Salle Garnier Opera House, with its 18-ton gilt-bronze chandelier and extravagant frescoes, also built the Paris Opéra, but it was American-born Princess Alice, married to Prince Albert I, who made it a cultural destination. It hosts not only the coast's most significant performances of opera but also of dance and orchestral music.
