Ambassade Ljubljana (NL) - Dans en theater (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | The first theatre was built in 1765 but stayed for a long time an almost exclusive privilege of German and Italian artists. |
 | | In 1867, first Dramaticno drustvo – the Dramatic Society (the most important person was Fran Levstik) and finally, in 1892, the national theatre was founded in Ljubljana (the first director became Ignacij Borstnik). |
 | | Till 1914, Slovenian theatre performances were being held also in Trieste (where the theatre still exists although the city is part of Italy) and in Maribor, despite continuous problems mostly caused by national intolerance. |
