"Forty years already! Is it possible? The years seem to have passed faster than a grand jeté. I remember as if it were yesterday my first creation for Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo. It was in December 1986, it was called Les Adieux. With hindsight, I see that this choreography was very badly named because this experience was above all an unforgettable encounter that gave me the feeling that with these dancers, I could find my artistic reality. Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo were then a nascent company and I too was in a way a nascent choreographer. I had the feeling that our stories were following parallel trajectories. A few years later, H.R.H. The Princess of Hanover realised the miracle of bringing these two trajectories together. The 2025-2026 season we are presenting to you is encapsulated in one phrase: Thank you! That's why we wanted it to be generous, diverse and filled with gifts that we can't wait to open with you. I will let you discover them and wish you, as always, an excellent season in our Company". Jean-Christophe Maillot

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of LES BALLETS DE MONTE-CARLO, Jean-Christophe Maillot is pleased to invite the former dancers of the Company, to the Gala Evening organised in tribute to H.R.H. The Princess of Hanover, on July 4th 2026 at Grimaldi Forum Monaco. More info ►HERE
