There are so many reasons to love Monaco.
It’s an exceptional place where anything is possible. Where luck finds those who come to meet it with a smile. A parade of experiences and memories await you under the Mediterranean sun... Top singer Rita Ora spoke to us about her fondness for the Principality.
Let’s fall in love with Monte-Carlo!
What attracted you most about the Principality?
Rita Ora: Monaco is one of my favourite places to visit in the Mediterranean. It’s so beautiful and there are some incredible food spots which I love to go to with friends. I can’t wait to be back later this year performing for you all at the Salle des Etoiles on Sunday 31 July.
What is your best memory of Monaco?
R.O: There’s a few. But I remember back in 2013 performing at a Princess Grace Foundation event, founded by Grace Kelly which was an absolute honour. It was called 'Bal De La Rose' for the 150th Anniversary of the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer Resort – everyone from Cara Delevingne to the Monaco royal family were in attendance. The late great Karl Lagerfield, creative director of the French fashion house Chanel designed my beautiful dress that night – a night that I will never forget.
How would you describe Monaco in brief?
R.O: Glamorous.
