One of three state-owned theatres in Slovenia (see also Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Ljubljana - Drama and Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Nova Gorica), the Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Maribor comprises drama, opera and ballet ensembles and a symphony orchestra.

Drama

The programme of the SNG Maribor Drama Company presents both classical and contemporary drama, including work by Slovene dramatists (Ivan Cankar, Slavko Grum, A T Linhart, F S Finžgar, Dominik Smole, Primož Kozak, Tone Partljič, Drago Jančar, Rudi Šeligo) as well as international playwrights. Many Slovene texts staged at SNG Maribor are national premieres. SNG Maribor has also organised the annual Borštnik Meeting, Slovene Theatre Festival since 1966.

Opera

The history of the SNG Maribor Opera Company goes back to 1919 when a small company staged mostly operettas. Today it presents a diversified programme featuring its own orchestra and regular appearances by visiting international guest performers, while its productions also go on regular tours (Croatia, Austria, Italy, Luxemburg, Taiwan, etc) - see also SNG Maribor Symphony Orchestra.

Ballet

The SNG Maribor Ballet Company co-operates with the Opera and Drama Companies and produces around two ballet performances per year. The ensemble also hosts many guest dancers and choreographers from other countries, eg Romanians Edward Clug and Valentina Turcu who recently created the performances Tango and Lacrimas with SNG Maribor. The 2004 programme included Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker and Mikis Teodorakis' Zorba the Greek. In 2006 SNG Maribor Ballet Company staged Edward Clug's Radio and Juliet, firstly at the prestigious festival Le temps d'aimer in Biarritz, France, and subsequently in two performances at the Dance Europa festival in Tel Aviv and Haifa, Israel, attracting more than 3,000 spectators. It was then staged at Scala in Helmond, Netherlands and also in Belgium. The title refers to the interplay between the music (it is based on the music of the world-famous British band Radiohead) and movement (Juliet).

In September 2007 the new performances were premiered: The magic Flute, La Callas and The Elf based on Ben Minoli's children's play.
