Voronezh circus of Truzzi

In Voronezh circus as a kind of art beganto develop relatively recently, in the nineteenth century. Until 1882, Voronezh circus tent was held, and then they built a huge wooden building on Starokonnaya Square (the present Lenin Square). Then it was the biggest construction, which only cost a stable, where hundreds of horses could seat.

The owner of this largest provincialcircus was the Italian M. Truzzi. Then the famous clown artist AL Durov began his career as a clown. It was here that he trained animals, the first of which became a ram, a cock and a piglet.

Circus Association "Cooperative"

In 1905, a new construction for the circus was built, it contained fifteen hundred seats and was located on the Theater Square.

In 1918 there were K. Faccioli, K. Gebel, AA Durov, G. Zerendorf, E. R. Durov and others. They showed a performance called "Shattered fetters, or the triumph of the revolution." These people organized a circus fellowship and called it the "Cooperative". Thus, the private Voronezh circus of Truzzi was changed to the circus association "Cooperative".

In 1924, on the site of a wooden old circus building, a new brick building appeared, with the inscription "Gutsirk", which numbered about three thousand seats.

Years of War

During the war the Voronezh circus burned down. When the Germans were expelled from the city, the construction of the wooden facade of the circus began. So, on the territory of the Pervomaisky garden there appeared a tent with a canvas dome. It was built by the workers of the circus, who at that time lived not far from the dugouts. Shapito stayed here until 1972.

Voronezh State Circus

The construction of a circus on the territory of the newly builtThe cemetery lasted ten long years. It was conducted on the same project as in nine other cities (Russia, Ukraine), whose author was V. Kasyan. The building was large, there were two thousand four hundred seats.

In the nineties the Voronezh circus had to be repaired, changed glasses, equipment.

In 2008, on the second floor of the circus, a monument to A. Durov was opened on the project of the national communities of Voronezh. The author of the sculpture was V. Arsenadze.
