Théâtre des Capucins

The Theatre des Capucins is a performance venue with approximately 270 seats housed within a former monastery building in Luxembourg City's cultural quarter. The intimate hall occupies historic rooms from the original cloister and hosts theater productions, dance, and other live performances.

The building was founded as a Capuchin monastery in 1623 and was transformed into military facilities during the French Revolution. In 1869 it was converted into a theater and has served as a performance venue ever since.

The venue serves as a meeting place for contemporary and experimental performances, where local artists work alongside visiting companies from across Europe. The space has become known to residents as a testing ground for new artistic ideas and unconventional productions.

The venue is easily accessible by tram and bus lines since it is located in the city center. Visitors should check what performances are scheduled in advance and can contact the venue directly to get details about upcoming shows.

Before becoming a theater, the building served at various times as a powder magazine, food storage depot, and garrison bakery. Traces of these different uses can still be felt in the layout and character of the spaces.
