We present to you the collections of SLOGI – Theatre Museum. In November 2019, we are publishing a photograph and poster of Avgusta Danilova.
On the 150th anniversary of the birth of Avgusta Danilova (1869–1958), Borštnik's student and leader of the repertoire at the Slovenian Theatre in Ljubljana at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.
Her varied acting career in the Ljubljana theatre also includes a period in Trieste (1908–10) and two American periods (New York 1913–20 and Cleveland 1922–27).
She returned to Slovenian cultural consciousness at the end of her career with the role of Obrekarice in the first Slovenian film On Her Own Land. Pictured as Princess Fedora Romazova in Victorien Sardou's drama Fedora. The poster is for the same performance, with which Danilova celebrated the 25th anniversary of her theatrical career.
