A collection of works, such as plays, pieces of music, or dances, that a performer or group can present or perform. Also used to describe the official list of works ready for a particular purpose.
Usage & Nuances
Often used in theater, music, and dance contexts—'in repertory' means a group frequently performs works from a rotating set. Not the same as 'repertoire', though sometimes confused; 'repertoire' is more common in general English.
