i think this definition captures the modern idea of dramaturge better than the current definition.

Dramaturge A person who provides a playwright, director or design team with information (historical, social, etc) or advice aimed at making a story clear and compelling to an audience. They often do outside research to provide a playwright with more information about a place, time period or style of theater.

This article is generally accurate, but too prescriptive (rather than DE-scriptive) regarding the dramaturge's functions. My edit tries to correct this and to tighten up the prose a bit.

"At larger theatres or opera houses, the dramaturge works on the historical and cultural research into the play or opera and its setting."

Needs a gerund ("incorporating"?) after "on" or, better yet, replace "works on" with a verb that makes sense here. I don't know enough about the subject to repair this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.248.219.20 (talk) 17:00, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-12-23T17:00:00.000Z","author":"74.248.219.20","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-74.248.219.20-2017-12-23T17:00:00.000Z-Broken_sentence","replies":[]}}-->
