Theatre routes around Ljubljana to the SNG Opera and Ballet
Theatrical life in Ljubljana was in the past marked by various national influences and trade and cultural routes that led through the city. How Slovenian theatre developed under these influences, we will learn on a walk that will take us to the former Provincial Theatre, today's SNG Opera and Ballet Ljubljana. After getting to know the architectural and theatrical heritage from the outside, the path will also lead us inside to see the theatre hall and backstage. Sign in at the address sandra.jenko@slogi.si.
Mon–Fri 9:00–16:00 (Exhibition space on the second floor SLOGI)
In Pursuit of a Theatre. From the Jesuits to Cankar, individual tours
Permanent exhibition illuminates the path that Slovenian theatre took from the 17th to the 20th century. The great story stretches from the theatre of the reformers and counter-reformers and concludes with the appearance of the Slovenian playwright of European stature, Ivan Cankar, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It also clearly shows that all the key turning points and processes on this path are marked by either parallel European processes or European roots or influences; but at the same time, they are also marked by the emancipation of Slovenian theatre from excessive commitment to the latter - especially at the level of language and national identity.
