Born in Zagorje ob Savi, Slovenia, she studied to be a Germanist, but her primary love was ballet. She studied ballet in Düsseldorf. It was there that she met and married the German-born Austrian conductor Carlos Kleiber.

In 1955, at the age of 18, she starred in the movie Ples čarovnic (Dance Of The Witches), a Triglav Film production in Slovenian.[1] The movie was a tour-de-force, 452 minutes of ballet to the Ples čarovnic symphonic poem by Blaž Arnič with choreography by Pia and Pino Mlakar.[2]

Brezovar is buried together with Carlos Kleiber in the Slovenian village of Konjšica near Litija.[3] She was survived by a son, Marko, and a daughter, Lillian.
