Programme
From the beginning of July to the end of August, the Ljubljana Festival enlivens and enriches the capital city with concerts of star soloists, acclaimed ensembles, chamber and philharmonic orchestras and performances by prima ballerinas, opera divas, and seasoned thespians. Some of the most famous personalities who have appeared on the stage of the Ljubljana Festival include Marjana Lipovšek, Katia Ricciarelli, Grace Bumbry, Yehudi Menuhin, Mstislav Rostropovich, José Carreras, Yuri Bashmet, Misha Maisky, Shlomo Mintz, Krzysztof Penderecki, Riccardo Muti, Gidon Kremer, Valery Gergiev, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Julian Rachlin, Angela Gheorghiu, Maceo Parker, Gilberto Gil, Wynton Marsalis, Marcelo Alvarez, Bernarda Fink, Vadim Repin, Zubin Mehta, Sir Andrew Davis, Midori, Tomaž Pandur, Ennio Morricone, not to mention some of the best symphonic orchestras in the world.
The Ljubljana Festival has also established itself as an important producer of opera performances. Productions from both Slovene opera institutions (the Slovene National Theatre Maribor and the Slovene National Theatre Drama Ljubljana) as well as international productions of the Lithuanian National Opera, the Bolshoi Theatre, the Mariinsky Theatre, and the Croatian National Theatre have been incorporated into its diverse programme.
Although the Ljubljana Festival is most active during the summer months, other important aspects of its programming include the spring Slovene Music Days, featuring concerts of works by Slovene composers and a symposium attended by musicologists from around the world, and the Križanke International Art Colony, which gathers visual artists in the inspiring environment of the Križanke venue.
Venues
Ljubljana Festival's events take place at several locations in Ljubljana but most are held within Plečnik's open-air complex at Križanke which was created within the abandoned former monastery especially for the festival. Major events are held on the Open-air Stage, while other venues include the Baroque-style Križanke Church, the Knight's Hall and the 'Courtyard of Hell'. Some of the events are also realised in Ursuline Church, the Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre, Slovene Philharmonic or at the Ljubljana Castle.
