translation of 'Mehrspartentheater'?

[Torsten]

What is a 'Mehrspartentheater'? It's a theatre that does various genres such as opera, musicals, classical plays, comedies, etc? Would 'repertory theatre' the correct equivalent?

Many thanks,
Torsten

Repertory theatre is used of acting companies, not the facilities, and applies to companies offering several plays during a season, on different evenings. It does not range as widely as your suggestion of genres; since the same actors must perform in all of them, they are generally restricted to stage plays tragic, comic and melodramatic.

Frankly, I cannot think of a term that covers the range you suggest.
