Description
The Avtovo Circus in St. Petersburg occupies a special place among the city's cultural attractions. Located in the historic Avtovo district, it has become a symbol of contemporary circus art and architectural excellence. Unlike traditional temporary tents, it features a permanent, thoughtfully designed big top that blends harmoniously into the urban environment, making the complex a true gem of the area.
The building was designed by the French company Lucien-Walter, renowned for its innovative spatial structures made of metal and fabric. Over the years, the firm has completed numerous complex projects around the world, from bus stations to sports complexes. The Avtovo Circus is a unique example of a permanent circus tent in Russia: there are no unnecessary supports or structures obstructing the view, so every spectator, regardless of their row, can fully enjoy the show.
The arena opened on August 15, 1995, and since then, the circus has deservedly earned the love of city residents. Its stage regularly hosts a variety of programs, including circus shows, concerts, plays, and festive events. The high skill of the performers and the spectacular productions make a visit to the Avtovo Circus a vibrant and memorable event for the whole family.
