Maribor theater, with the bust of Isabelle's lauded aunt, actress Elvira Kralj.

After the dress rehearsal in Maribor the Three Sisters (Janet Lilly, Isabelle Kralj, Simone Ferro) paused under the bust of Isabelle’s famous aunt – award winning actress Elvira Kralj – in the lobby of the Slovenian National Theater of Maribor.  In a few hours, the ladies will grace the stage in the opening performance!

Theatre Gigante is thrilled to announce their upcoming Slovenian Tour this October!

Gigante is part of yearlong festivities taking place in Maribor and throughout Slovenia, in the year that Maribor has been named the 2012 European Capital of Culture.

The company will perform THREE OTHER SISTERS, written by Artistic Directors Isabelle Kralj & Mark Anderson, based on an old Montenegrin legend about three sisters all in love with the same Sea Captain.
