The Ljubljana Opera House is an opera house located at the intersection of Zupancic Street and Cankar Street in Ljubljana. The building was built as a Regional Theater and today houses the Slovenian National Opera and Ballet Theater. The building was built between 1890 and 1892 in the neo-Renaissance style according to the plans of Czech architects Jan Vladimír Hráský and Anton Hruby. In the facade niches are statues that represent allegories of tragedy and comedy. It gives the building its distinctive appearance, above all, a richly decorated facade with ionic columns above the entrance supporting a mighty tympanum. In the niches at the main entrance, statues of Comedy and Tragedy have been erected. Due to the dilapidation and spatial distress, a renovation and upgrading plan was planned in 1998, which, however, was delayed due to many complications. The grand opening of the renovated building was on December 10, 2011.

Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear friend….I’m not renovating it either … but the building is really beautiful now that it’s been renovated
It is nice to hear that you understand, dear Tas
I think it is well understood, dear friend
I usually do not go to see opera, but I would like to see opera at this place though. If I ever go to Slovenia, then you will have to introduce me to a nice Slovenian woman that would go with me.
You just come visit a friend I will love your guide and I will show you all the sights
The building looks big. I don’t like to listen to opera.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Elenka….
I visited opera in my younger years.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Vidocka….I was still in school years
I would love to visit her again.
But I have no desire for opera, dear Vida
Such a beautiful building! I haven’t been to the opera, but I think I would prefer a ballet.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Ellie…..here is an opera and ballet house together
I love the structure , amazing architecture.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Dawn
i love going to the opera! I am the only one in my family that will go. But I still go! My all-time favorite is Tales of Hoffman!
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear friend….I’ve only been to the opera twice and it’s a very long time ago …. if I remember correctly I watched the barber of Seville
That is a wonderful opera. I enjoy going but since moving to DC, I only go once a year now.
I have a friend who works in opera but he has invited me many times but I really am not the biggest fan of operas … but some of them are really fantastic and I watched them on TV ……. Aida, Traviata, they play Trnuljčica right now … I don’t know what that looks like
Aida is awesome love the music. La Traviata is a musical journey. Sorry I love the opera!
I’m glad for you that you like opera, dear friend
That is a lovely opera house. I have been to the opera several times in my life.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Sandra
I have not been to the opera but this building is absolutely breathtaking.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Carol….I’m not exactly a fan of opera either … but I was 2x
