Repertory theatre

A repertoire system (also ensemble system) have theaters that have a permanently dedicated ensemble, which they can keep several in-house productions for months or years in the repertoire. The occupations remain the same, as a rule, only in individual cases, there are reassignments (eg occupied with guests leading roles in disease or an actor ).

International situation

In the English -speaking world, where the program many stages of a single as long as possible is performed play, theater repertory system as a repertory theater or short rep are referred to; in the United States is called stock theater. The classic American stock theater the period before the Second World War every week was at least rehearsed and brought out a new piece. Many larger theater (about on Broadway ), however, are no institutions with standing operation, but often only buildings that can be rented if required.

Many important European theaters, such as the Vienna Burgtheater, the Bavarian State Theatre in Munich, the Comédie Française in Paris and the Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern ( Dramatan ) in Stockholm have a repertory system. In Central and Northern Europe it is standard. Rarely, here are homes with an en- suite game mode, which prevails almost exclusively in Anglo-Saxon countries, but also in Italy and other Latin countries. The En -suite system is in theaters the opposite of the repertory system.

Opera Houses

Also opera houses may have a standard repertoire. This, however, many different plants can each season are listed, including perhaps six new productions, mostly revivals of older productions. This requires an orchestra that has many works in the repertoire, which can be played with little or no sample. The choir must satisfy the same conditions. The technique of the houses must be capable of the sets constantly to assemble and disassemble, for example, shifts in the stage technicians. In addition, an ensemble of singers must be available that is suitable for lots of different operas. This is made possible by the commitment of a variety of guest vocalists at the big houses. Overall, the repertory system is very complex and requires appropriate financial basis. Smaller theater mostly offer only a limited selection of operas that run after the rehearsal about one season.

The opposite of the repertory system in opera is the Stagionesystem. Opera Houses with classical repertoire system are now rarely encountered. Large houses no longer retain their pieces throughout the year in the repertoire, but offer of any repertoire staging a series of performances per season. This is called semi - Stagionebetrieb. In contrast, the Vienna Volksoper and the Komische Oper Berlin work according to the traditional, today usually reserved for the speech theaters pattern.

Interim solutions are to be found in houses such as the Teatro alla Scala, the Paris Opera or the Royal Opera House in London. They lie in their way of working between repertoire and Stagionehäusern. On the one hand, they offer only a limited number of pieces per season, on the other hand they also take older productions some cases over many years or even decades back on. They also have an orchestra and a choir own.
