New for the 33rd edition: the organisers have scheduled an extra performance on Sunday 25th January at 6.30 p.m. bringing the total number of shows to 15! Another good piece of news, children under 12 will be entitled to half price tickets from 21st January (except for the terraces which will remain at 10 euros). More than enough to satisfy all circus fans!
As in previous years, the selection performances on Thursday 15th January (8 p.m.) and Saturday 17th January (8 p.m.) will be identical, as will those on Friday 16th (8 p.m. and Sunday 18th January (3 p.m.). The Gala, after which the award ceremony will take place, will be held on Tuesday 20th January at 8 p.m. Performances by the winners of the show will then be given on Wednesday 21st (2.30 p.m. and 8.30 p.m.), Thursday 22nd (8 p.m.), Friday 23rd (2.30 p.m. and 8.30 p.m.) and Sunday 25th January (2 p.m. and 6.30 p.m. – the extra performance).
Each year, the International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo’s panel of judges, presided over by H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, award Gold, Silver and Bronze Clowns to the best artists and acts. A prelude to a prestigious international career in the circus.
Therefore with many nice surprises...it is good to see Caroline and family supporting Stephanie on the Circus after such a long time; tough -and here comes the negative part- i´d have liked to see their children together (at least some of them). Of course Albert and Charlane´s presence is important and I long to see Charlene looking more relaxed.
