The Théâtre Princesse-Grace, on Avenue d'Ostende between La Condamine and Monte-Carlo, opened in 1932 as the SBM's Art Deco Théâtre des Beaux-Arts, with a cinema and a theatre, to widen a cultural life then centred on the Salle Garnier. René Blum ran it first; Charlie Chaplin previewed City Lights here in 1935, and Piaf and Maurice Chevalier sang on its stage. Princess Grace oversaw its restoration in the late 1970s, and on 17 December 1981 she and Prince Rainier III reopened it under her name; it hosts the Monte-Carlo Magic Stars festival and, every four years, the Mondial du Théâtre.
