Билеты на «ТРОГАТЬельный спектакль» в цирке Казани

The history of the circus in Kazan spans more than 100 years. The first permanent circus in Kazan was built in 1890 by the founders of the national Russian circus, the Nikitin brothers. It was a wooden circus on Banny Lake. In 1924, the Kazan Circus received state status. The building constructed by the Nikitins stood for almost forty years. In 1928, to replace the Nikitin circus, a new building was erected on the same site—also wooden. The circus was named after the eighth anniversary of the Tatar ASSR. Despite the fact that the new structure was soon reconstructed and adapted for winter performances, it served for just over thirty years. In 1961, due to its dilapidated state, the circus was closed, and this, in fact, marks the end of the history of the old Kazan Circus associated with the Nikitin brothers. The semi-ruined building eventually caught fire like a torch and burned to the ground. And... the history of the new Kazan State Circus begins. That very 'flying saucer' whose cosmic silhouette has now become an integral part of modern urban development, a kind of exotic landmark at the foot of the ancient Kremlin hill. The opening of the new Kazan Circus building took place on December 9, 1967. This unique structure, equipped with modern circus technology, was built according to the design of architect G. M. Pichuev and engineers O. I. Berim and E. Yu. Brudny. The spatial composition of the building is as original as it is classically simple and elegant. Indeed, the circus looks like two tightly closed giant shell-bowls. The monolithic reinforced concrete conical shell without internal supports is the original feature of the building.
