Beginnings of the Slovene opera performances can be traced back to 1867 when Dramatic Society was established. The Society opened possibilities also for operatic productions which were at first very modest (singspiels, operettas, stage music). Important impulses were given by singer, conductor and composer Fran Gerbič who improved the music capacities of local actors and musicians.
In the year 1892 the new building was built. The building hosted two theatres: German State Theatre (as conductors served in German theatre such conductors as Gustav Mahler and Fritz Reiner) and Slovene theatre, which operated now on the professional basis. Slovene ensemble was without orchestra but with the help of military band they performed also operas and operettas. Both ensambles prepared their own productions and the relation between ensemble was of a positive rivalry.
In 1918 Opera gained professional orchestra and ballet ensemble. The most important prewar artistic director was composer and conductor Mirko Polič. He enlarged orchestra and ensemble and staged a lot of contemporary operas (I. Stravinsky, S. Prokofiev, E. Krenek, D. Shostakovich, P. Vladigerov, M. Kogoj) and basic German repertoire (R. Wagner, R. Strauss).
After Second World War Opera continued with successful work. Of special importance was the guest appearance on the Dutch Festival and in Paris with the performance of Prokofiev's opera The Love for Three Oranges, which was later recorded for the renown label Philips and rewarded with the grand prix du disque.
As the central Slovene music theatre company, SNG Opera and Ballet Ljubljana stages an annual season of opera, ballet and concerts, plus some additional programmes featuring various classical and contemporary music theatre works. Each season around 150 performances by opera and ballet ensembles take place.
The Opera Company of SNG Opera and Ballet Ljubljana also presents an annual programme of international opera featuring its own orchestra and regular appearances by visiting international guest conductors, directors or performers. Each season it prepares 3-5 new productions and gives older productions. They perform mostly Italian opera of 19th century and operas form verismo period. Ensemble of soloists consists mainly of Slovene singers but at the premiers perform often also the foreign artists.
The peak of the 2004-2005 opera season was the world premiere of Offenbach's opera Rhine Nymphs, produced by SNG Opera and Ballet Ljubljana in collaboration with the Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre, Festspielhaus from Austria's St Poelten and a number of international authors. The production travelled to Switzerland, Austria and two German cities, Cologne and Trier. At the moment the opera building is under reconstruction what heavily effects the staging possibilities of the opera company.
The Ballet Company of SNG Opera and Ballet Ljubljana prepares on average three new performances per year. Guest dancers and choreographers are often invited to work with the company and various productions are staged in collaboration with overseas companies. The Ballet company prepares standard ballet pieces (Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Minkus) and lately also combines modern dance tehniques with standard ballet practices.
The majority of the performances is staged in the neo-Classical opera house, designed by Czech architects Jan V. Hrasky and Anton Hruby and built in 1892. At the moment building is under renovation with the addition of a new annex which will double the building’s size to 10,000 square metres (architects Jurij Kobe and Marjan Zupanc). The door should re-open for the 2010/2011 season.
Larger productions are staged at Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre, at Ljubljana Fairgrounds and occasionally at theatre houses abroad.
After the Second World Opera made extensive tours which led the ensemble in Holland, France, Russia, Czech and Slowak Republic. Frequent were guest appearances in near Triest, Klagenfurt, Zagreb and Graz. In the last decade opera company tries to resstablish the international contacts by preparing joint productions. Its partners were Festspielhaus from Austria's St Poelten, Volkstheater Rostock, Slovene National Theatre Maribor, Teatro Verdi Triest and Croatian National Theatre of Zagreb. Next seasons will bring some resounding international cooperations: with Glyndebourne Festival (Dvorak's Rusalka) and Opera Comique from Paris.
