Slovenia year 2019 Architecture – National Theatre Maribor

The Slovenia 2019 postage stamp featuring architecture commemorates the centenary of the Slovene National Theatre Maribor (Narodno gledališče Maribor). Issued as part of a stamp series, this commemorative stamp highlights the theatre’s significant cultural and historical role since its establishment in 1919, marking 100 years of Slovene professional theatre in Maribor. The theatre building itself dates back to 1852, originally a German theatre house before becoming a Slovenian national cultural institution after World War I. The stamp visually celebrates this milestone with a multicolor design and a face value of 1.17 euros, issued with comb 14 perforation, and classified as a commemorative type. The centenary event was marked by celebrations and special postal issues recognizing the theatre’s contributions to Slovene culture in drama, opera, and ballet.
