century architecture rebuilt to
its present form by the famous
architect Jože Plečnik. Festival events

Festivals
Slovenian National Opera and Ballet Theatre of Ljubljana
with the tenor José Cura (Argentina): Othello
6 Jul, 20:00, Cankarjev dom cultural and congress centre
This production of Verdi’s opera
Othello is directed by Manfred
Schweigkofler, who staged a hit
production of The Nymphs of the
Rhine at Ljubljana’s Cankarjev dom
cultural and congress centre a few
years ago.
Othello’s literary source,
Shakespeare’s play Othello, was
a good point of departure for the
tragic whirlwind of events in Verdi’s
opera about the devoted yet fragile
love between a heroic Moorish
general and the daughter of a
Venetian senator, which is tragically
destroyed by parvenuism, grudge,
envy, and intrigue.

The music and dance production
Sissi, which tells the story of the
famous Austrian empress Sissi
and evokes the forgotten world of
the 19th century, was created by a
renowned Hungarian dance company
in collaboration with a renowned
Hungarian symphony orchestra, both
considered to be ambassadors of
Hungarian culture to the world.
ExperiDance, a dance company led
by the acclaimed choreographer
Sándor Román, has an original way
of showing respect for tradition
while at the same time challenging
conventions. The Budapest Gypsy
Symphony Orchestra is one of the
most unusual world-class symphony
orchestras. Apart from works by
classical composers such as Johannes
Brahms, Frantz Liszt, Hector Berlioz,
Georges Bizet, and the Strauss family,
its repertoire also includes chardashes
and folk music arrangements.

Save the Bees - exhibition
21 May - 25 Sep Ljubljana Castle,
Casemate
The Save the Bees exhibition explores
the rich tradition of beekeeping in
Slovenian-inhabited lands and examines
the importance of bees for ensuring the
Earth’s biodiversity.
Held during Ljubljana’s year as
the European Green Capital, the
exhibition presents beekeeping as a
traditional activity related in many
ways to the Slovenian way of life.
Slovenian beekeepers are credited with
domesticating the indigenous Carniolan
honey bee, which is now the second most
widespread bee subspecies in the world.
Bee products such as honey, beeswax,
royal jelly, bee pollen, propolis, and
bee venom play an important role
in traditional Slovenian cuisine and
handicrafts, but they are also used in
modern medicine. In the process of
conserving bees, Slovenia, due to its
biodiversity and high level of public
awareness of the issue, continues
to be a ‘green oasis’ for bees and is
internationally renowned as a country
of excellent beekeepers. The exhibition
also presents Slovenia’s rich cultural and
artistic heritage related to beekeeping.
Open: 9:00 - 21:00

Open: 10:00 - 19:00, Sundays 10:00 - 14:00
Zoran Mušič, the best known 20th
century Slovenian-born painter
and a man with more than one
homeland, spent most of his life
between Venice and Paris. He
mostly painted landscapes, still
lifes, portraits, Dalmatian donkeys
and horses, trees, views of Venice,
double portraits with his wife
Ida, and poignant self-portraits
depicting him as an old man. His
visual motifs were always related
to the Slovenian region of Kras and
its typical scenes. He became world
famous with his series of paintings
We Are Not the Last, in which he
relived the scenes he experienced
in the Dachau concentration camp.
Ljubljana’s National Gallery displays
the world’s only permanent survey
exhibition of Mušič’s work. The
majority of exhibited works come
from the Ljuban, Milada and Vanda
Mušič Collection, owned by the
family of the artist’s brother.
Open: 10:00 - 18:00, Thursdays 10:0020:00. Closed: Mondays

Plečnik Collection
The new permanent exhibition at the
Plečnik House in Trnovo presents the most
important projects of the late architect.
Plečnik’s creativity comes to life through
the plans, models and photographs of
his creations such as the Zacherl House
in Vienna, Prague Castle, the National
and University Library in Ljubljana,
the Ljubljana Central Market, Žale
Cemetery, the Church of St. Michael at the
Ljubljana Marshes and numerous other
masterpieces. Several plans of Plečnik’s
never realized visions are also on display.
The Cathedral of Freedom, the master’s
vision of the Slovenian parliament, is
especially worthy of our attention.

Slovenian History
Ljubljana Castle
Slovenian History, Ljubljana Castle’s
permanent exhibition, shows the
dynamic history of Slovenia and
Ljubljana. Slovenian territory, lying at the
junction of natural routes between the
Alps, the Adriatic Sea and the Pannonian
Plain, has been the point of convergence
of different peoples and cultures since
prehistory. The exhibition covers the
Slovenian history from the earliest traces
of human presence (200,000 BC) to the
landmark events following Slovenia’s
independence in 1991 and presents the
societies of the different periods, the
state formations, the political, social and
economic circumstances, migrations,
transport, culture, architecture and the
everyday life.

Back in the 1990s, the American
band Mudhoney were among
the most important exponents
of grunge sound, next to Nirvana
and Soundgarden, but despite
their musical influence they never
became rock stars of the highest
order.
The band was founded by Mark Arm
and Steve Turner, who were also
the founders of the cult 1980s band
Green River, whose members later
formed the bands Mother Love Bone
and Pearl Jam. Unlike many other
grunge bands, Mudhoney still enjoy
an uninterrupted and relatively
successful career today.

The Ljubljana concert by the popular
American indie rock band Local
Natives will take place immediately
after the band’s performance at
the prestigious Lollapalooza music
festival.
Local Natives made a name for
themselves with their debut album
Gorilla Manor, which was released
in 2009 to critical acclaim and
rode high in music charts thanks
to the band’s trademark sound
reflecting influences from Afro pop
and folk music. Local Natives have
provided support to the famous
Arcade Fire and The National. In
2013, they released their second
album, Hummingbird, and repeated
the success of their debut. Their
third album, Sunlit Youth, is due for
release later this year.
