The earliest days of theatre in Luxembourg date back to the time of the Jesuits, who came to Luxembourg at the end of the 16th century. However, it would be necessary to wait until 1855 to see the birth of Luxembourg theatrical life with the performance of "Scholdschäin" by Edmond de la Fontaine (Dicks), the first play in Luxembourgish.
Since then, plays in Luxembourgish have been a constant success with audiences; they range from vaudeville to modern critical theatre. The Luxembourg theatres also offer a wide range of plays in French or German, or even in English, Dutch or Portuguese, performed by famous foreign companies and Luxembourg-based expatriates.
It should be noted that revues in the French, German or Luxembourgish languages contribute to an intense cultural life.

Das Großherzogtum Luxemburg bietet eine reichhaltige Auswahl an musikalischen Ereignissen und Aktivitäten. Zahlreiche Luxemburger sind Mitglieder in Musikvereinen, deren Ursprünge manchmal bis ins 18. Jahrhundert zurückgehen.
Das Philharmonische Orchester von Luxemburg und die Europäischen Solisten von Luxemburg verschaffen Luxemburg seit langem ein hohes Ansehen im Ausland. Die beiden Orchester treten regelmäßig in Luxemburg-Stadt, an verschiedenen Orten des Landes sowie bei den Luxemburger Festivals auf.
Zu den beiden Formationen gesellen sich regelmäßig international angesehene Solisten. Sie bieten ebenfalls jungen Luxemburger Interpreten die Gelegenheit, mit einem großen Orchester aufzutreten.
Eine angemessene architektonische Umrahmung der musikalischen Ereignisse bieten, ausser den Theater- und Konzertsälen, die über das ganze Land verstreuten historischen Schlösser und Kirchen. Operngalas, Ballettstücke und Musicals, die von internationalen Gruppen aufgefühtr werden, bilden einen wichtigen Bestandteil des gesamten Programmangebots.
From its spectacular architecture, designed by Christian de Portzamparc, the Luxembourg Philharmonic has one mission: to facilitate access to its high quality programme to Luxembourg’s public and the surrounding region, to stimulate the cultural scene with a rich and varied artistic programme which will be characterised by its quality, to strengthen ties between composers, musicians and the public and to encourage the audience to consider listening itself as an active contribution in the process of creation.
The official opening of the ‘Grande-Duchesse Joséphine-Charlotte’ Concert Hall took place on 26th June 2005 with the creation of the 8th symphony of Krzysztof Penderecki. This concert by the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra marked the start of a week of opening celebrations: a public festival of music and sound which exceeded many expectations: 750 musicians played for a total of 15,038 visitors which is equivalent to an exploitation rate of 98.65%.
During the first hundred days of the regular operation of the 2005/2006 Season, there were 132 performance: from Riccardo Muti with the Philharmonic Orchestra to Lorin Maazel with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra; from Goran Bregovic to Maceo Parker; from Grigoy Sokolov to the numerous theatrical concerts for children; the aim was to create a concert hall for everyone, young and old alike. The three rooms with capacities from 100 to 1,300 people, have enabled 49,075 spectators to experience exceptional concerts, introductions to concerts, meetings with artists and, more generally, high quality and varied musical experiences.
For the 64,000 people who visited the Luxembourg Philharmonic during the first days, it was their curiosity and the open spirit with which they approached the offer by the Luxembourg Philharmonic and its partner organisations that brought pleasure. It was precisely this openness of spirit and curiosity which show that Luxembourg and its surrounding regions derive pleasure from the satisfaction of a musical need and that the Luxembourg Philharmonic has good times ahead, both during this season and those that will follow.
La Rockhal, enfin! Désirée, discutée, pensée depuis un quart de siècle au Luxembourg, la Rockhal aura finalement vu son chantier entamé l'année du cinquantenaire du rock'n'roll.
Durant près de trente ans, le projet a été pensé et rêvé par les amateurs de musique. Depuis 1995, année durant laquelle le Luxembourg fut la dernière fois capitale européenne de la culture, de nombreuses formations internationales - des Rolling Stones à Michael Jackson, de Placebo à Incubus - se sont produites sur les scènes nationales. Parallèlement, la scène musicale locale a pris de l'envergure et certains groupes ont désormais une réputation dépassant largement les frontières luxembourgeoises.
Bien au-delà d'être un complexe de deux salles de concert entièrement modulables, la Rockhal, gérée par l'établissement public Centre de musiques amplifiées et cofinancée par l'État luxembourgeois, est appelée à devenir le véritable centre de la musique pop-rock au Luxembourg - comme le sont le CNA à Dudelange pour l'image photographique et cinématographique ou le CNL à Mersch pour la littérature. C'est pour cela que le CMA dispose d'un Centre de ressources, qui accueillera aussi bien des salles de répétition qu'un studio d'enregistrement semi-professionnel, des offres, des formations et des archives de la musique dans un espace multimédia.
