History
The origins of the Ljubljana International Summer Festival - today called Ljubljana Festival - may be traced back to 1952, when the Ljubljana Tourist Society organised its first Tourist Week. This first Ljubljana Festival featured a series of cultural, economic, folklore, touristic, and sport events. Since that time the festival has outgrown the character of a local tourist event and developed into a renowned international event which offers its ever-growing number of visitors in the summer months a variety of musical, theatrical and dance performances by leading domestic and international artists.
Programme
In the two months span - from beginning of July to end of August - Ljubljana Festival covers diverse events: from chamber concerts, symphonic concerts to opera and theatre performances to jazz concerts. Some of the most famous personalities that 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 Morrcone, not to mention some of the best symphonic orchestras of the world.
In the last years Ljubljana Festival established itself also as an important producer of opera performances. Therefore the production from both Slovene opera institutions were incorporated (Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Maribor, Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Ljubljana as well as international productions of Lithuanian National Opera, Bolshoi Theatre, Mariinsky Theatre and Croatian National Theatre.
Important part of Ljubljana Festival are also Slovene Music Days and in recent years of the Festival the programme has been enriched by the Križanke International Art Colony, which gathers artists in the inspiring environment of the Križanke venue.
