Ljubljana Puppet Theatre was established in 1948, shaped by various developments in Slovene puppetry during the first half of the 20th century. Quite soon the theatre found its own mode of expression, its productions of home and foreign puppet performances received wide national and international acclaim. The production of Spotty the Ball [Žogica Marogica] by the Check puppeteer Jan Malik remains unchanged on the repertory of Ljubljana Puppet Theatre since its premiere in 1951.

Ljubljana Puppet Theatre repertory programme encompasses the classical puppetry tradition as well as contemporary forms. The theatre works with domestic as well as with international authors, and is open to young as well as established writers. The main target audience is children, however the theatre has recently been expanding its youth and adult programme, thus the programme is divided into two segments, namely, puppet performances and drama performances, including eight to ten premières annually.

Its most successful recent performances were This Merry Day or Matiček's Wedding [Ta veseli dan ali Matiček se ženi] (2002)(a Slovene stage classic by A. T. Linhart), directed by the theatre director Vito Taufer, which won a number of awards, among others, the Little Prince Award for best performance at the Lutke International Puppet Festival, Ljubljana, award for best performance at Slovene Drama Week in 2003, award for best animation at the International Puppet Theatre Festival - PIF, Zagreb, Croatia, etc.

and Papageno playing a magic flute (Streul’s adaptation of a famous Mozart opera) - in co-operation with Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Ljubljana - Opera and Ballet. The Ljubljana Puppet Theatre team consists of 19 actors who (together with several guest performers and directors) present around 500 performances each year, . .

and since the UNIMA international puppetry festival in Bucharest in 1958, it has toured more than 80 cities in 30 countries and received many awards. }}

Since 1992, when the International Union of the Marionette (UNIMA) congress was held in Ljubljana, Ljubljana Puppet Theatre has organised the annual Lutke International Puppet Festival, at which the Little Prince Award is bestowed.

Ljubljana Puppet Theatre also preserves an important collection relating to the Slovene puppetry heritage - see Ljubljana Puppet Theatre Museum Collection.
