Mladinsko Showcase

In 2007, the Mladinsko Theatre set up a festival overview of its annual production, called Prelet (Overflight), later renaming it as the Mladinsko Showcase. This distinctively international project, with English-surtitled performances, reiterates the highlights of the Mladinsko (and for a time also of the Glej Theatre) from the previous season.

In 2016, the format of the festival was renewed. While still maintaining the international aspect, the showcase is now (since the 2017/18 season) organised by the Mladinsko alone and focuses on the theatre's own productions as well as those produced in collaboration with Maska Institute at The New Post Office.

A still from Republika Slovenija [The Republic of Slovenia], a docudrama about the arms trafficking events from the early years of Slovenia. Shown at Mladinsko Showcase in 2016 and that same year also given the Borštnik Jury Award.

Ljubljana Festival

A joint concert by the Slovene Philharmonic Orchestra and the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra, held at Kongresni trg as the opening concert of the Ljubljana Festival, 2016

The Ljubljana Festival is a renowned and highly ambitious international festival which offers a variety of music, theatre and dance performances by leading international as well as domestic artists. Between 70 and 80 events range from concerts of classical, ethno, rock and jazz music, to performances of opera, theatre and ballet. It 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.

Taking place from the end of June to the end of September, it is the main summer festival in Ljubljana and certainly amongst the bigger ones in the wider region. As of recent years, the festival also has a small 'winter edition' in February.
