Established in 1994, The Course offers exciting and innovative lectures in the History of Art, Literature, Music and Opera.

In Cultural Capitals (Budapest, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Lisbon and Monte Carlo being among the world’s most exciting and glamorous cities) Patrick Bade will explore the cultural life of these cities in periods when they were “hot”. He will take a broad view, examining architecture, visual arts, music and performing arts, social life, fashion, food and shopping.

MONTE CARLO

Capital of gambling and guilty pleasures, Monte Carlo laid on extraordinary cultural entertainments for the world’s plutocracy. In the early twentieth century the tiny jewel-like opera house premiered operas by composers such as Massenet, Puccini and Ravel and later hosted Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes.
