Regietheater
Regietheater (in English, director's opera; more commonly producer's opera) is a term that refers to the modern (essentially post-World War II) practice of allowing a 'director' or 'producer' such freedom in devising the way a given opera is staged that not only may the composer's specific stage directions (where supplied) be completely disregarded, but also major elements of geographical location, chronological situation, casting and plot.
