Monaco National Day 2026: Three Free Shows at Espace Léo Ferré

Monaco is preparing to celebrate National Day 2026 with a cultural programme featuring theatre, music and comedy. As part of the November festivities, Monaco’s Town Hall is organising three free shows at Espace Léo Ferré, scheduled for 14, 18 and 19 November. The programme offers entertainment for different age groups and interests.

From a family-friendly theatre production to a musical tribute to the legendary Édith Piaf and contemporary satire from Anne Roumanoff, the three events are designed to bring together Monegasque nationals and residents. Admission is free, but a complimentary invitation must be collected in advance according to the announced distribution schedule. Places are limited.

Monaco National Day: The Programme of Shows

14 November: “Pyjamas”, Theatre and Imagination for the Whole Family

The programme opens on Saturday 14 November at 3 pm with “Pyjamas”, a theatre performance designed for families and suitable for children aged three and above.

Set in the intimate surroundings of a bedroom, the show tells the story of an adult rediscovering the joy of play and imagination. Everyday objects, shoes and clothes become unexpected companions on an adventure celebrating creativity and the ability to see the world through fresh eyes.

The performance is particularly suited to younger audiences, while also offering adults an opportunity to rediscover the spontaneity and wonder of childhood play.

18 November: Nathalie Lermitte Pays Tribute to Édith Piaf

On Wednesday 18 November at 9 pm, on the eve of National Day, Espace Léo Ferré will host “PIAF! Le Spectacle – Hymne à La Môme”, a musical tribute to Édith Piaf, one of the most iconic voices in French chanson.

Nathalie Lermitte will perform the celebrated singer’s repertoire in a production that has already attracted more than two million spectators worldwide.

Combining live music, previously unseen archival footage and innovative stage technology, the show takes audiences on a journey through Piaf’s career and artistic legacy. It celebrates the emotional power of her performances and the songs that helped shape the history of French music.

The show is recommended for audiences aged 10 and over.

19 November: Anne Roumanoff Closes the Programme with “L’Âge Libre”

The programme concludes on Thursday 19 November at 6 pm, when Anne Roumanoff takes to the stage at Espace Léo Ferré with her new show, “L’Âge Libre”.

Known for her sharp wit and distinctive comic style, Roumanoff tackles contemporary issues and social debates, from inflation and women’s role in the workplace to modern relationships and international politics. Her satirical take also touches on Donald Trump, presidential elections and the rise of extremism.

One of the show’s central themes is women’s freedom to break away from social expectations and constraints. Through humour, provocation and sharp observations, Roumanoff offers a comic perspective on the challenges facing contemporary society.

The performance is recommended for audiences aged 10 and over and marks the final event in Monaco’s National Day programme.
