While the exact rooms and buildings will vary from company to opera company, there are some main spaces (and acronyms) that are consistent in German theaters. The timing might vary slightly from theatre to theatre. While we have a general idea of our schedule in the weeks prior, house artists find out exactly what they are doing for the next day at around lunch time the day before. It outlines all of the times, locations, and rehearsal types that are going on throughout the whole theatre. The Tagesplan is the daily schedule for a German theater. Thus, today I can give you a guide to the different types of rehearsals in German opera houses – enjoy! The Tagesplan Now, after lots of panic and stress, I finally have it all figured out.
The anxiety of working through a different language is compounded when all scenic and musical rehearsals in German opera houses are referred to using strange acronyms!īO, KHP, SO, OA – what do these all mean? When are we in a rehearsal hall and when are we on stage? Which ones are dress rehearsals? Needless to say, I was lost when I got my first fest position at an opera theater in Germany. Starting out in the German opera scene is super intimidating for foreign opera singers.
