The Opera de Monte Carlo is an opera house in Monaco.

In the heart of Monte Carlo, in the tiny country of Monaco, the Fairmont Hairpin Curve attracts F1 enthusiasts, tourists and drivers alike. Previously known as the 'Station,' 'Fairmont' and 'Loews' Hairpin (the name changes based on the name of the nearby hotel) this is one of the most recognisable corners of the Monaco Grand Prix. This recognition is perhaps because it is the slowest corner of a notably slow track.
