Repertoire facts for kids
A repertoire is like a special collection of songs, plays, or dances that an artist or a group knows really well. It's everything they are ready to perform at any time! Think of it as their "ready-to-go" list of performances.
For example, a singer might have a repertoire of 50 different songs. This means they can sing any of those 50 songs whenever they are asked to perform. A theater company might have a repertoire of several plays they can put on stage.
The word "repertoire" comes from the French language. It started being used around 1847. It's related to an old Latin word that means "a list" or "a collection."
The idea of a repertoire is also used for groups that mostly perform classic or well-known works. This is like a repertory theater or a repertoire ballet company. They have a set list of popular shows they can perform often.
