| Abstract: | The present paper discusses the situation of the German-speaking (City) Theater of Hermannstadt/ Sibiu during World War I. As an introductory note I will give a brief overview on relevant historical developments of the theater, including information on its administration and artistic direction, in the years preceding World War I and a short digression on how the audience evolved over the turn of the Century. Hereafter I will analyze the repertoire of the German-speaking Theater of Hermannstadt/ Sibiu concerning the seasons of 1914/1915 and 1915/1916 as well as the spring seasons of 1917 and 1918. The content and structure of the present contribution is based on a thesis presented in 2011 at the Karl-Franzens-Universität of Graz under the title Theater im Umbruch. Die Vereinigten Grazer Bühnen und das Hermannstädter deutschsprachige Theater zwischen 1899 und 1923 im Vergleich. The discussion therein contained has been, whenever necessary, adapted and the literature updated. |
