The Ljubljana Puppet Theatre (Lutkovno gledališče Ljubljana) is the country's premier institution committed to carrying on the long and fruitful tradition of Slovenian puppetry. Since its foundation in 1948, it has been located in a building which had previously housed the famous Slovenian Marionette Theatre, run by the founding father of Slovenian puppetry, the painter Milan Klemenčič. Apart from being home of the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre, the building also hosts theatre productions and cultural and educational events for children and young people.

The Ljubljana Puppet Theatre has staged a large number of popular and internationally acclaimed productions, the best known being Zvezdica Zaspanka (Little Sleepy Star), Žogica Marogica (Spotty the Ball), Ostržek (Pinocchio) and Kozlovska sodba v Višnji Gori (Goat's Court Case in Višnja Gora). The Theatre organizes two biennial puppet festivals for children and adults, Zlata paličica (Golden Stick) and Lutke (Puppets), which bring together puppet troupes from around the world.

The Stage under the Stars in the Puppet Theatre of Ljubljana ia a special venue in the city centre. This hall occupies the top floor of a 19th century building which was originally home to the Ljubljana fire fighters. Today, two cultural institutions reside under its roof – the Šentjakob Theatre and the Puppet Theatre of Ljubljana.

The name of this function space was inspired by its architecture, as the ceiling and one third of the walls are made of glass. This allows an enjoyable open view of the sky while attending an event, such as a concert, fashion show, educational programme or a business gathering.

The hall’s dimension, 19 X 19 m, provides space to welcome up to 300 guests and has the entire necessary infrastructure, such as wardrobes, lobby, dressing rooms and bar at disposal. Its position next to the lower funicular station connecting the Old Town to the Ljubljana Castle can be pinpointed as an additional feature.
