Generalities
The beginning of theater in Luxembourg dates back to the Jesuit period, in the late 16th century. Yet, the true birth of Luxembourgian theater occurred no sooner than 1855, when the Edmond de la Fontaine’ play “Scholdschäin” was performed for the first time. From that moment on, plays have been performed in the Luxembourgian theater both in French and German, but also in English, Dutch and Portuguese.
