The yearbook of Estonian theatre statistics 2006

Estonian theatres in co-operation with the Ministry of Culture and the Information Centre of the Estonian Theatre Union publish for the third time the publication reflecting the annual activities of theatres. The publications of Estonian theatre statistics for 2004 and 2005 are accompanied by “Estonian Theatre Statistics 2006”.

The publication compiled by the Information Centre of the Estonian Theatre Union (now Estonian Theatre Agency) comprises different aspects of theatre, consisting of three sub-sections: repertoire statistics, statistics of performances and visitors and economic statistics. Statistical data have been collected for the calendar year, not for the theatrical season characteristics of theatre activities. The publication provides the list of new productions and for the whole repertoire of the year 2006, as well as short overviews of the theatres.

The yearbook “Estonian Theatre Statistics 2005” includes data from state, municipal and private theatres and from three dance agencies. All theatres reflected in the publication get annual activity subsidies from the Ministry of Culture. Thus only the activities of professional theatres have been reflected there. The present publication provides an overview of amateur theatres compiled by Kristiina Oomer, President of the Estonian Amateur Theatre Association (EHL).
