cultural resources in henrik ibsen's early environment - Ibsen.net

Oehlenschläger, appear in the foregoing list, but for only one performance in the first
case, and two in the second.
The most popular genre by far was the one-act comedy or lystspil, which was
often called a vaudeville. Comedie, lystspil, and "vaudeville" were loosely-applied terms,
which could cover anything from a monologue or a short sketch, sometimes with singing
and dancing, to a longer comedy in a realistic style. There were 71 of these among the
118 titles. There were 18 longer comedies performed, leaving only 29 plays for all the
other genres, which included skuespil (ie., dramas, or serious plays) of various lengths
(15), music dramas (5), tragedies (2), melodrama (1), historical drama (1), and
ridderskuespil (2). There were also several pieces that do not fall into any of the above
categories: a "night-scene," a "musical Quodlibet," and a "tableau vivant."
