Slovene Theatre

The Slovene Theatre is the most important cultural entity of the Slovene minority that lives in Trieste, Gorizia and Udine.

It was established as a proper public theatre in 1907. Burned down by the fascists with the Narodni Dom (Slovenian cultural and economic centre) in 1920, it was rebuilt in 1945. Since 1964, it is hosted in the Kulturni Dom, built in reaction to the destruction of the Narodni Dom, which can accommodate 543 seated guests, and every seasons welcomes 1,500 season ticket holders from Trieste, 460 from Gorizia and 950 students from the Republic of Slovenia.
