The Slovenian Chamber Music Theatre Society was established in 1996 with the purpose of staging chamber and theatre music works from all periods, particularly Baroque and modern. The society promotes new works of chamber music and theatre from Slovenian composers and librettists. They are also open to cooperation with organisations and institutions who wish to collaborate.

Mission and programme

The programme of the society combines world-renowned works by famous composers (for example W. A. Mozart, Giacomo Puccini, Leonard Bernstein and Gioachino Rossini) with works by modern Slovenian and international authors (Nina Šenk and Simona Semenič, Bojana Šaljić Podešva and Saška Rakef, Petra Strahovnik, and others).

Publishing

The society has published several publications. Among them, three – Obrazi slovenskega baleta (The Faces of Slovenian Ballet) (2008), Karakterni plesi (Dances of European Nations on the Theater Stage) (2005), and Slovenska literarna dela na glasbenogledališkem odru (Slovenian Literature on the Music Stage) (2004) – were written by the accomplished opera director and choreographer, historian of opera and dance, Professor Dr Henrik Neubauer, and one, A Ballerina's Memories (2006), by award-winning ballerina Lidija Sotlar.

Samo Smerkolj Award

Named after Slovenian opera vocalist Samo Smerkolj, the Samo Smerkolj Award has been awarded annually since 2008 for the artistic achievements of Slovenian opera singers, especially in the field of chamber opera.
