THEATRE AND CONCERT PERFORMANCES
IN ST-PETERSBURG

ST-PETERSBURG CIRCUS ON FONTANKA

Circus performances were a success in St Petersburg even in the XVIII century. They took place at the squares during the public merry-making and at the riding schools. In the XIX century, special circus buildings began to be built. The idea of the stone circus occurred to the Italian circus actor, rider and trainer Gaetano Ciniselli, being the head of a large circus family first arrived in St.Petersburg on tour in 1847. The building of the new circus was considered one of the most beautiful circus buildings in Europe. In 1919, Ciniselli's Circus was transferred to the State, and in 1924, W.J. Truzzi, being a talented producer, organiser, brilliant actor and horse trainer, was appointed the first Director of Leningrad Circus. The creative activity of many famous actors is connected with the Circus-on-Fontanka. G. S. Venetsianov, a brilliant expert of the equestrian genre, created his circus turns together with the magnificent trainer B.P. Manjelli. It was here that E.T. Kio worked on renewal of his illusion attraction. Leningrad was the place to originate the creative life of Valentine Filatov's "Bear Circus". G.S. Venetsianov paid much attention to the clown genre. It was for eleven seasons running that the remarkable clown Boris Vyatkin was working. At the same time, the actors D. Demash and G. Mosel represented the genre of buffoon clownery, and the clown Konstantin Musin brightly realised his original talent. The best creative traditions go on living at Leningrad (St Petersburg) Circus in the latest decades as well.
