Aufführungspläne

Aufführungspläne, which translates to performance plans or schedules, are essential organizational documents within various performing arts industries. They detail the specific timings, locations, and personnel involved in the staging and execution of performances. These plans are crucial for coordinating the complex logistics of putting on a show, whether it be a theatrical play, a musical concert, a dance recital, or an opera.

Typically, an Aufführungsplan will outline the date and time of each performance, including any rehearsals, technical run-throughs, and dress rehearsals. It will also specify the venue and the stage or performance space to be used. Key personnel are identified, such as the director, cast members, musicians, technical crew (lighting, sound, stage management), and front-of-house staff. Important cues for scene changes, lighting shifts, and sound effects might also be noted.

The creation and adherence to Aufführungspläne ensure that all parties involved are aware of their responsibilities and the overall schedule. This minimizes confusion, prevents conflicts, and contributes to the smooth and successful execution of a performance. In large productions, these plans can be highly detailed, encompassing multiple weeks or even months of activity. They serve as a central reference point for everyone contributing to the live event.
