Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg present an eclectic programme covering opera, dance and theatre in four languages. The TalentLAB, a project laboratory and multidisciplinary festival was launched in 2016 to further expand their support to local artists and promote international exchange. It has since developed into a vibrant platform for upcoming artists where experimentation in a safe environment is given valuable space and time. They also continue to nurture and develop international partnerships with other European venues and networks (ETC, enoa, Opera Europa, etc.) and have developed a new coproduction model based on exchange and training. The strategy of blending in-house creations with international co-productions and strong support for artists has increased the visibility of the institution as a producing venue and enabled it to create ever more meaningful relationships with is partners.
