The Opéra de Monte-Carlo is an opera company in the principality of Monaco.
With the lack of cultural diversions available in Monaco in the 1870s, Prince Charles III, along with the Societe des Bains de Mers, decided on the construction of an opera house on a high spot overlooking the Mediterranean. Initially, it was Charles III’s private theatre with the main entrance reserved for the Royal family and a private staircase taking them to their richly-adorned private box.
This was to be the Salle Garnier which opended in 1879.
During the renovation of the Salle Garnier in 2004/ 2005, the company presented operas at the Salle des Princes of the local Grimaldi Forum, a modern conference and performance centre where Les Ballets de Monte Carlo and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra regularly perform.

Monte Carlo is the wealthiest of Monaco's various administrative areas, sometimes erroneously believed to be the country's capital, even though there formally is none. Monte Carlo is known for its casinos, gambling, glamour, and for sightings of famous people. The permanent population is about 3000. Monte Carlo quarter includes not only Monte Carlo proper where the casino is located, but also the neighborhoods of Saint Michel, Saint Roman/Tenao, and the beach community of Larvotto. It borders the French town of Beausoleil (formerly known as Haut-Monte-Carlo).
Founded in 1866, Monte Carlo has a name of Italian origin meaning "Mount Charles", named in compliment to the prince then reigning, Charles III of Monaco. The specific mountain is the escarpment at the foot of the Maritime Alps on which the town stands.
