'all an actor can portray' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'extremes of rage impudent love and passion' is the wordplay.
'extremes of' means to remove the middle letters.
'impudent' becomes 'pert' (I've seen this before).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'passion' becomes 'ire' (ire is passionate anger).
'rage' with its middle taken out is 're'.
're'+'pert'+'o'+'ire'='REPERTOIRE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for repertoire that I've seen before include "Range of works performed" , "The pieces a performer can play" , "The pieces played by an artiste" , "Range of skills or songs" , "This is all actor can portray" .)
