Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo's majestic, triumphant journey to Washington, D.C. . .

For their debut at the renowned John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts between November 17 - 20, Monaco's national ballet company, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo -- under the Presidency of Her Royal Highness The Princess of Hanover (Princess Caroline of Monaco) -- enthralled audiences with their presentation of Cendrillon (Cinderella).

Her Royal Highness was the Honorary Chair of two distinguished tour committees: the Honorary Diplomatic Committee comprising more than 20 Ambassadors from many of the countries represented by dancers in the company, and the Host Committee featuring an eminent group of supporters, friends, and sponsors.

To coincide with the company's tour, and to celebrate Monaco's National Day on November 19, the Embassy of Monaco hosted a series of events over four days to welcome the Principality's North American consular corps and VIP guests to the national's capital to celebrate.

And on November 2, we welcomed a very special guest, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, to visit the Kennedy Center and Hillwood Museum, Estate and Gardens!
