The Prince Rainier III Foundation's Academy of Music and Drama is an educational institution specialised in music and dramatic art managed by the Monaco City Council. Grouping together training, creativity and dissemination, the institution accommodates over 800 students supervised by a team of 56 teachers and an administrative and technical team of 13.
In order to prevent students from focusing on one single and rigid path, the Academy offers-as part of its educational guidance strategy for artistic teaching specialising in music, dance, drama and performance - various courses that place the student at the core of the school work plan.
These various courses are all focused on the following goals:
- Artistic training with a view to high-quality practice either as an amateur or with the prospect of pre-professionalisation;
- Cultural dissemination within the Principality and in the neighbouring areas;
- Amateur and professional productions;
- Education on music for the audience of tomorrow;
- Support for and development of projects promoting amateur practice;
- Developing creativity in cooperation with the Pavillon Bosio and cultural institutions in the Principality and abroad;
- Coordinating educational and artistic projects.
Throughout the academic year, the Academy of Music and Drama organises over a hundred recitals and concerts with its students within the academy and also develops projects in coooperation with local arts events, which results in the students taking part in various events including: The European Heritage Days, the Music Festival, the Printemps des Arts.... Last but not least, the school is involved in educational programmes with other institutions abroad.
All these activities are a factor for motivating the students and promoting high standards, a training tool aimed at making them more independent and capable of expressing themselves.
Various partnerships with the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Monte Carlo Opera give students the opportunity to take part in public productions (gala concerts, children’s choirs...).
Support from SoGeDa and Sacem encourages “masters” to attend master classes.
The Academy, in close cooperation with the Department of National Education, offers a timetable adapted for pupils attending school and lower-secondary school, as well as an "adjusted timetable” for pupils in the fifth form of secondary school.
Thanks to its school work plan, the Prince Rainier III of Monaco Foundation’s Academy of Music and Drama is a privileged partner in the organising of a departmental and regional plan for pre-professional training.
