Summary/Abstract: We find Romanian theater germs in specific popular forms: the Herods, the outlaws (the Jians), the peasant wedding orthe play of dolls, the Calusari or the Drăgaica fair. The first expressions of Romanian cult music went to the field of theater. The vaudeville was affirmed in the first half of the 19th century, and in the second half the center of interest moved in the direction of operetta and musical comedy. The birth certificate of Romanian opera was signed by Eduard Caudella with his historical opera called „Petru Rareş”. At the beginning of the 20th century different stylistic orientations combined with masterful transfigurations of Romanian folklore, the moment of synthesis of the genre being represented by the lyric tragedy „Oedip”, the masterpiece of George Enescu.
