pyqgis - How to read out which map theme is used in QGIS 3

I'm using QGIS 3.2.2 and Python. I would like to read out which map theme I currently use.

I know the following method provides me a list of defined map themes ('Theme1', 'Theme2'):

QgsProject.instance().mapThemeCollection().mapThemes()

I don't know any method which provides me with the map theme name used itself.

I tried to use iface.mapCanvas().theme() but it always returns an empty string.
