Standard day
In Austria, a day on which public music and theater performances were prohibited was designated as Normatag (also: Norma day) or a blocked, large festival day . If the ban on events is only the k. k. Has affected the court theater, one spoke of a court standard day . Court standards were set by decree of the court chancellery. In cases of special obstacles, "with the highest approval, a postponement of these standard days" was possible.
General standard days on which theater performances and concerts in the k. u. k. Monarchy were not allowed to take place in 1907
- the last three days of Holy Week,
- Easter Sunday,
- Pentecost Sunday,
- the day of Corpus Christi,
- the Christmas Eve and
- the christmas day.
On Easter Sunday, Pentecost Sunday and Christmas Day, an exemption for charitable purposes was possible by the authorities.
For example, in 1906 the following standard days were set:
1. Courtyard standard days :
- June 28th ( eve of the day of death by now Sr. Majesty Emperor Ferdinand I )
- 9 September ( eve of the day of Her Majesty's death the Empress and Queen Elisabeth )
2. Ecclesiastical Normatage (without further details of the restrictions resulting from this):
- Ash Wednesday
- Annunciation
- the whole char week ( sic )
- Easter and Pentecost Sunday
- Happy Corpus Christi Day (sic)
- Mary birth
- All Saints Day
- the last three days of Advent
- the christmas day
- the feast of the patron saint in each crown country
3. Legal standard days (the same as those listed above for 1907)
The number of standard days could also be many times that. In Jaksch (1830) , under the keyword “acting attitude”, the following are also listed:
- every Friday, all year round,
- every day in Advent from December 15th,
- all previous evenings of all women's festivals,
- all women's days (Assumption, Annunciation, Conception)
- All Saints' Day and All Souls Day
and others more.
In Germany there are still comparable regulations, the so-called silent holidays , for example with dance bans .
