Repertuarze

Repertuarze is the locative singular form of the Polish noun repertuar, which denotes the repertoire—the set of works that a performer, ensemble, theater, or other institution has prepared to present. The term covers a range of art forms, including theater plays, operas, concert pieces, film titles, and exhibitions that a venue can stage. The word derives from the French répertoire, via Polish, with roots in the Latin repertorium meaning a list or repository.

In practice, the repertoire defines programming. In theatres, orchestras, festivals, and cinemas, phrases such as w repertuarze teatru, na repertuarze kina, or poszerzać repertuar are common. A new production may be added to the repertoire, and institutions may adjust their repertoire to reflect artistic direction or audience demand. Individuals may also refer to their personal repertoire to denote the works they can perform or have prepared.

The term is often distinguished from a general program or schedule, emphasizing the collection of works rather than the sequence of presentations. In journalism and cultural guides, repertuarze appears when describing current offerings or upcoming performances. Overall, the concept of repertuarze underlines how cultural organizations organize, present, and communicate their artistic assets to the public.
