The Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra launches its new season this Sunday with Norwegian cellist Truls Mørk, as conductor Nathalie Stutzmann takes the helm as artistic director.
This Sunday marks the start of a new chapter for the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, with Norwegian cellist Truls Mørk headlining the opening concert of the 2026-27 season at the Salle Garnier.
The occasion carries added significance with the arrival of Nathalie Stutzmann as the orchestra's new artistic director. A celebrated French contralto and conductor, Stutzmann brings a substantial international profile to the role, and her appointment signals a deliberate shift in ambition for one of the Principality's most established cultural institutions.
For Monaco residents and regular concert-goers at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo, Sunday's performance sets the tone for what the OPMC is promising to be a freshly shaped season. Details of the full 2026-27 programme are expected to follow in coming weeks.
