Repertoire


A repertoire is a list or set of dramas, operas, musical compositions or roles which a company or person is prepared to perform.
Musicians often have a musical repertoire. The first known use of the word repertoire was in 1847. It is a loan word from the French language, as répertoire, with a similar meaning in the arts. This word, in turn, has its origin in the Late Latin word repertorium.
The concept of a basic repertoire has been extended to refer to groups which focus mainly on performing standard works, as in repertory theater or repertoire ballet.
