OPERA SINGERS: LUCIENNE BRÉVALLucienne Bréval (1869–1935), born Bertha Agnès Lisette Schilling, was a French soprano originally from Switzerland, celebrated for her powerful vocal talents, superb timbre, and stage presence. Originally from Männedorf, near Zurich, she studied at the Conservatoire de Paris before making her debut at the Opéra de Paris in 1892, in Carl Maria von Weber’s Euryanthe. A versatile performer, she excelled in Wagnerian roles and in the operas of Gounod, Massenet, and Reyer. She performed in a number of world premieres, including that of Pénélope de Fauré, in 1913, at the Monte Carlo Opera. She retired from the stage in 1921, to become a voice teacher in Lausanne.Design and line-engraving: Sarah LAZAREVIC  Printing process: 4 colours steel-engraving Size of the stamp: 40,85 x 52 mm vertical Quantity of issue: 36 000 stamps Sheet of 6 stamps with illuminationsOPERA SINGERS: FRANCISQUE DELMAS Jean-François "Francisque" Delmas (1861-1933) was a highly-regarded French baritone-bass trained at the Conservatoire de Paris. He made his stage debut at the Opéra de Paris in 1886 in Meyerbeer’s Les Huguenots. He remained closely associated with the Parisian opera house, performing in the premieres of some forty contemporary operas and appearing in prestigious Wagnerian roles. At the Monte Carlo Opera in 1912, he starred in the first ever performance of Massenet’s tragic opera Roma. His powerful voice and impressive vocal range earned him acclaim as a singer equally adept in both bass and baritone-bass roles.Design and line-engraving: Pierre BARA Printing process: 3 colours steel-engraving Size of the stamp: 40,85 x 52 mm vertical Quantity of issue: 36 000 stamps Sheet of 6 stamps with illuminationsCENTENARY OF THE FIRST FLIGHT OVER THE NORTH POLEIn May 1926, an expedition led by Norway’s Roald Amundsen aboard the airship Norge made the first confirmed flight over the North Pole, paving the way for later exploration of the polar region from the air.

These threats include climate change, natural disasters, societal change, urban development and mass tourism. This second edition continues the Department’s commitment to engaging young people in the preservation of Monegasque heritage and to promoting the artistic expression of the Principality’s youth. Participants are invited to reflect on what Monaco’s cultural heritage represents to them and to consider ways of preserving it.An expert jury comprising Stéphane Bern, a leading figure in heritage promotion, the internationally renowned photographer and documentary filmmaker Nick Danziger, as well as several personalities from Monaco’s cultural sphere, will select 15 photographs from among the entries and award prizes to three photographers, one in each of the following age categories: 11–14, 15–18 and 19–25.Particular attention will be paid to the artistic quality of the submitted photographs, as well as to the depth of reflection on the theme of heritage at risk.The competition is open to young people aged 11 to 25 who are Monegasque nationals, residents, students in the Principality, or working in Monaco.For more information and to register, please visit culture.mc before 15 March 2026 at 11:59 p.m. and fill out the form available here. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/workshops-during-the-week-of-12-january-2026-at-the-maison-du-numeriqueWed, 21 Jan 2026 11:53:56 +0100 Find out what’s going on at the Maison du numérique every week.

As from 12 January, the Government will give priority to a gradual return to in-person teaching, in particular for examination classes and technical courses, notably laboratory-based teaching.The new teaching sites will be fully operational as from 26 January 2026.Most of the facilities brought into service will be located around Promenade Honoré II, with the available classrooms at Collège Charles III and Lycée Rainier III also being fully utilised.With immediate effect, students who so wish — in particular Year 10 students (Seconde) — may benefit from a reception and study space at Collège Charles III, enabling them to exchange and follow remote learning, pending the gradual resumption of in-person classes (under arrangements communicated directly to teachers and students).Furthermore, in order to free up teaching slots for these upper-secondary students at Lycée Rainier III, higher-education classes will be relocated as from 12 January to classrooms at ISM in the “Ruscino” building, located on Quai Antoine Ier. These premises will also host essential non-teaching facilities for upper-secondary students, including guidance counsellors, psychologists, a social worker, the library and parent reception areas.At the same time, reinforcement works on the retaining wall of the former Collège Rainier III are continuing: three additional ground anchors are now fully operational, and the data available to the Government show pressure levels well below alert thresholds. Further works will nevertheless be required and are incompatible with the schooling of upper-secondary students. By contrast, the sports and community facilities housed in the former Technical High School building will be accessible again as from Wednesday, 7 January, as will access to the Annonciade public car park.In order to provide students and parents with the best possible guidance, a guide containing practical information outlining the steps and timetable for returning to face-to-face learning is available (below). https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/it-s-time-for-the-annual-harvest-of-bitter-orangesMon, 12 Jan 2026 16:43:58 +0100 From 12 January 2026, gardeners from the Department of Urban Amenities (DAU) will begin the Principality’s annual harvest of bitter orange trees (bigaradiers). In 2025, the Principality counted nearly 1,200 citrus trees (orange, lemon, clementine trees, etc.), including more than 600 untreated bitter orange trees.Each year, in January and February, DAU gardeners prune the various fruit trees and harvest the bitter oranges (sour oranges) growing along streets in the districts of La Condamine, Les Moneghetti and Monte-Carlo.Anyone wishing to receive bitter oranges during this annual harvest is invited to approach the gardeners on site.In 2025, more than 15 tonnes were harvested, including nearly 4.5 tonnes distributed free of charge to the public and to Lycée Rainier III, where the fruit was processed into jams and fruit pastes.The bitter orange harvest will take place according to the following schedule (from 8.00 a.m. to 2.30 p.m., subject to weather conditions and progress of the harvest):La Condamine district:12 to 23 January : Rue Grimaldi26 January to 6 February: Rue Princesse CarolineLes Moneghetti district:19 to 30 January: Boulevard de BelgiqueMonte-Carlo district:12 to 15 January: Boulevard d’Italie19 to 23 January: Avenue de Grande-BretagneVisitors are also invited to discover the exhibition "Sur la Route des Agrumes" (Along the Citrus Route), installed on Rue Princesse Caroline, on display until February 2026!For further information, please contact the Department of Urban Amenities. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/what-s-on-this-week-in-monaco49Mon, 05 Jan 2026 16:44:49 +0100 Get inspired for the days ahead!

Following earlier reinforcement work on the retaining wall above the main building, which began in July 2025, further ground surveys took place during the autumn half-term, and the wall will be strengthened further over the Christmas holidays.However, recent measurements show that the rate of ground movement has accelerated, requiring additional work. This will be carried out by a specialist engineering firm, which will also perform a full assessment to ensure it is effective.The results are expected on 4 January.As a precaution, the Prince’s Government has decided that when the spring term begins on 5 January, the 840 high school pupils who have been based at the former Collège Charles III since September 2025 will initially follow lessons from home.The safety of students and staff remains the absolute priority. This also applies to community groups that use the school facilities. No risks will be taken.During the first week of January, the Government will decide whether teaching can continue on the site in the longer term. It will consider all options, including a move to an alternative location if needed, to allow classes to resume as quickly as possible.The Department of Education, Youth and Sport will contact parents shortly with details about the remote learning arrangements to be put in place. https://monservicepublic.gouv.mc/en/news/changes-to-the-certificate-of-residenceMon, 22 Dec 2025 18:16:43 +0100 From 18 December 2025, eligible residents will be able to apply for a certificate of residence more easily, and pay online. Paper applications will still be accepted.  From today, residents of the Principality aged 18 and over can apply for a certificate of residence online and pay the fee directly via the MonGuichet portal.Previously, applicants needed to purchase a tax stamp costing €5.00 in order to collect their certificate. From now on, the stamp will no longer be required, and instead you can pay the fee securely when completing your application online. The change is designed to make the process easier and avoid having to make extra journeys.You can still apply for a certificate using the paper version of the form, although in that case you will need to affix a tax stamp to the form itself. There will be a transitional period, during which physical and electronic certificates will continue to exist alongside one another and will both remain valid, but eventually all certificates will be in electronic form only.Ce service en ligne est un projet mené conjointement par la Direction de la Sûreté Publique et la Direction des Services Numériques, dans le cadre de la modernisation continue des services publics en Principauté. Il a été conçu pour simplifier les démarches des usagers tout en garantissant la validité du certificat pour les organismes et entités qui le requièrent.This online service has been developed jointly by the Police Department and the Digital Services Department, as part of moves to modernise public services in Monaco. It is designed to make administrative formalities easier for members of the public, whilst guaranteeing that the certificates issued are valid and can be accepted by the various bodies that ask for them.For more information, refer to the certificate of residence page on the MonServicePublic portal.
