Historical reference

Omsk Circus is already thirty-seven years old, but there is little information about it. Very few people remember his true story. Siberians assure that this requires time and hard work. The reason lies in the small number of documentary evidence containing information about the circus. Some information, however, has already become public. There is a history of circus art in Omsk.

With the circus inhabitants of the city met in the XIX century with the appearance of a stationary room of a circus made of wood. It belonged to the merchant Sichkarev, who built it in 1898. It was heavy and low, but it could fit up to eight hundred spectators. For its time it's a lot! Under this roof were also theatrical and musical productions. After a while, the first movie sessions began.

But there was one unpleasant moment. Due to lack of heating in the winter, performances became a real challenge for both artists and spectators. However, no one complained about the difficulties, the idea was worth it. And people continued to visit the circus of Omsk.

The appearance of the second circus

Sooner or later, competition arises everywhere. At the beginning of the XX century there were already two circus rooms in the city. The second circus (Omsk) was built on Cossack Square, but it was originally designed as a temporary one.

The new building was warm and comfortable, so all artists from the merchant's circus moved here. Sichkarevsky circus was covered, and the building was planned to be reconstructed. These plans were not destined to come true, since there were no people willing to invest in an expensive and risky project. In 1909 the Sichkarevsky circus was abandoned, which is confirmed by documentary evidence.

After the revolution of 1917 and the change of power, the erection of the Soviet circus was started . From documentary sources, information was received that the first performance of the artists took place in 1922. Now they are trying to remember who and how he spoke at the premiere.

In those days, the government controlled the actions of creative teams that spoke to a large number of people. Therefore, to a greater extent, gymnasts and trainers with small animals performed. The highlight of the program was a bear who rode a bicycle.

Years of silence

There is no data on performances in the next half-century. The following reliable information indicates the opening of a new circus for 1900 seats on October 14, 1973. For 30 years the circus of Omsk pleased the audience, but in 2006 it was closed for repairs: the fire alarm system needed updating. Not meet the new stringent fire safety requirements and some structural features of the building. For three years, Omsk was deprived of a favorite resting place. The visiting troupes performed in tent circuses, which were installed in a hurry.

The end of 2009 was marked by the opening of the renovated building. The reconstruction also touched the number of seats for spectators: they were four hundred fewer. But this fact did not upset residents and visitors of the city, because the joy of discovery was much greater. By the way, there are plans to restore the lost places in the future.

Best in Russia

Time passed. The Circus of Omsk is still among the best. There are more than 30 circuses in the country, but only in Omsk - the best fire safety system. Now no one is hiding the names of the bands that perform here. In the arena were artists with a worldwide reputation: Zapashnye, Kio, Filatova and others.

During the reconstruction of the building, the square in front of it was redone. In this place the well-known circus "Baronety" performed. Omsk rejoiced during the performance of virtuoso artists.
