Long read: Monaco shows France how and why culture can stay open during a pandemic

Long read: Monaco shows France how and why culture can stay open during a pandemic © Monaco Info Monaco’s more liberal measures during the coronavirus crisis starkly contrast with France’s adamant closure of entire sectors of the economy. While restaurants in Monaco are facing increasingly stricter measures to stay open, Monaco’s approach to its cultural sector could serve as an example to France and other countries. As France went into its second lockdown in November, Monaco reduced all concert seats to five euros, staged a new production of Bizet’s Carmen and announced four shows by French comedian Gad Elmaleh that sold out within hours. Two months later, when the bordering region of Alpes-Maritimes introduced a 6 pm curfew, Monaco pushed back concert times to accommodate French spectators. “The concert has been moved to 3 pm to respect the 6 pm curfew in the Alpes-Maritimes,” stated at the time the website of the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra.
