This might have been the event of the season, so we will allow ourselves to break tradition from our usual format and simply list the elements that made this show so great.

Last week, Broadway World had the chance to attend the last performance of Der Zauberberg, the theater adaptation of Thomas Mann’s most acclaimed work.

An unexpected tapestry of art in many of its forms - dance, music, film and poetry - a unique composition of movement, sound and spoken word.

This weekend, Broadway World had the pleasure of attending the premiere of Bizet’s Carmen at the Grand Théâtre of Luxembourg.

Broadway World had the pleasure of attending the premiere of The Pajama Game, a musical play by author Richard Bissell and George Abbott. Set in 1950s America, it tells the story of a pajama factory where workers are actively demanding a salary raise of seven and a half cents.

One of the last shows of this season was The Quest, by Cédric Eeckhout. A unique take on the history of the European Union and the concepts of family and togetherness, from the eyes of an artist that finds great similarities between his own life and some of the most important dates of the European project. The performance featured Eeckhout himself, the main voice of the show, who resorted to a mix of story-telling and stand-up comedy to deliver a message of struggle and hope for the future of the EU and collective happiness. He was joined on stage by his mother and his cat, Jesus, who supported his delivery and joined him on several group numbers.

Last week, we had the pleasure of attending Jill Crovisier’s JinJeon at the Grand Théâtre of Luxembourg. This one hour performance featured six dancers, including Crovisier herself, and reflected on the impact that technological development has on the human body and mind.

This weekend, we had the pleasure of covering the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía at the Grand Théâtre of Luxembourg. This was yet another proof of the venue's capacity to present a rich and culturally diverse agenda, gifting the Grand-Duchy with a performance by one of the most renowned companies in Spain. The multiple dancers were joined on stage by the singers and musicians, displaying not only how inclusive and diverse this art style is, but also how connected its multiple elements truly are.

Last week, the Grand Théâtre opened its doors to MacBeth Underworld, an epic opera that revisits one of the world’s greatest and darkest plays.

This weekend, the Grand Théâtre opened its door to Harold Pinter’s Hothouse, the celebrated black comedy made famous in the 1980s.

A bold and irreverent composition of styles, formats and topics of reflection.

Last week we had the pleasure of seeing Sopro, a show that might very well have been the most interesting we have covered in 2020.

Our first play of the season was Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler, the realist masterpiece which gave us one of the most psychologically complex characters of the late 19th century.

The perfect mix between sweet and raunchy. A musical widely known for speaking to the heart millennials, a generation struggling with identity and purpose.

This week we had the pleasure of covering Anton Chekhov's Ivanov. This timeless classic was directed by Myriam Muller and presented at the Grand Théâtre for four consecutive nights.

The show we are covering this week is Wim Vandekeybus's TrapTown, a thought-provoking performance composed by multiple artistic elements, brought together on stage to narrate a singular epic tale.

Alone in a dark vessel with a somber past, six strangers begin to put together the real reason that joined their fates, as they fight for survival in the freezing waters of the North.

Session, the curious artistic experiment presented this week at the Grand Théâtre by choreographers Colin Dunne and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.

Henrik Ibsen might have written it in the late 19th century, but it remains just as relevant today.

You thought you knew more or less what to expect but, somehow, the entire show turned out to be a very refreshing surprise. Two days ago, the Théâtre des Capucins opened its doors to The Strange Tale of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel, a Told by an Idiot production, written and directed by Paul Hunter.
