Research Project, 2007–2015
A project of the
Academy, since 1946
Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences
The database documents the Hôtel de Musique's lively theatrical activity from 1766 to 1905, with a repertoire that includes theatre, opera, ballet, concerts and extraordinary events. The inventory provides a lively and colourful picture of Bernese theatre culture in the 19th century.
The project was developed in 2008 as part of a lecture on Bernese theatre history in the Seminar of Swiss Opera History at the Institute of Musicology at the University of Bern under the direction of Prof. Dr. Klaus Pietschmann. During the course of the project, the format of the directory was changed several times until finally a suitable platform was found in the present online publication.
In addition to an introductory text on the Hôtel de Musique, the database offers three search options:
1. Performances during the season: Search for numbered performances in a season with exact dates and pieces.
2. Performance statistics: Compare different divisions in a selected period.
3. Information about the work and person: Search for works and persons with number of performances and references
