Répétiteur (Fr.), repetitore (It.), or Korrepetitor / Repetitor (Ger.), originally from the French verb répéter meaning "to repeat, to go over, to learn, to rehearse".

In opera, répétiteur is the name given to the person responsible for coaching singers and playing the piano for music and production rehearsals. This requires a specific talent for sight-reading, instant arranging of the vocal score and ability to follow a conductor.

In ballet, a répétiteur teaches the steps and interpretation of the roles to some or all of the company performing the dance.
