Music in revues and cabarets

Music is a necessary ingredient of revues and cabarets. STIM offers a music licence that allows music to be used during the different numbers.

You need a music licence from STIM when using copyright protected music in a revue or cabaret. The licence gives you permission to use music in the performance's numbers and during intervals.

Note that the licence is not valid for music that is of decisive importance for the plot or that moves the plot forward. A special licence from the author or the author's publishing company is needed for that type of music use.
