The ''Orchestre de chambre de Lausanne'', the [[Lausanne Opera]] and the ''Ensemble vocal de Lausanne'' provide a diverse and rich musical life. The latter has been under the direction of [[Michel Corboz]] for many years.

In January, the [[Prix de Lausanne]], a famous dance competition, takes place at the [[Palais de Beaulieu]] (the biggest theatre in Switzerland<ref>{{in lang|fr}} Mathieu Signorell, "Beaulieu lâche les congrès pour les infirmiers après l'échec de Taoua", {{Lang|fr|[[24 heures (Switzerland)|24 heures]]}}, Saturday 14 February 2015.</ref>) over a one-week period.
