Talk:Ciniselli Circus

Dividing the article

The article, found in the category of museums in Saint Petersburg, should be divided because the building itself is NOT a museum. Yes, it is a historical building, claimed to be Russia's 1st specially designed circus building. But it houses a working circus AND a museum. They should be treated separately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GregZak (talk • contribs) 18:39, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

The stub is just too short for that. --Ghirla^-трёп- 08:26, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

First Circus of Stone?

I'm not sure if this circus was the first one. In the 1840s, there was the Circus-Theatre, see Mariinsky Theatre about that. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 19:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Interesting. I guess the question is, was this earlier circus built from stone? I'll see what I can find out. — Stumps 08:03, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, the Theatre-Circus is the same building which is now called the Mariinsky, and it is most definitely made of stone (or brick). The question is, was this Theatre-Circus really a circus in the modern term of the world or the "circus" in the name referred to something else, e.g., to the circular form of the stage? --Ghirla ^-трёп- 08:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I had thought that there was a theatre-circus (possibly of wood??) on the site, and then the current theatre was built there in 1859/60 and then operated only as a theatre/opera? I have no particular sources for this, and I might well be completely wrong! — Stumps 10:59, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

An equestrian circus was built on 29 January 1849 in the Theatrical Square by Albert Kavos. Initially the building was designed so that it also could be used as a theater. After 10 years the circus burned down, it was of "old-fashioned wooden construction"([1]). The building was reconstructed and since then it was used only for musical performances. So — for now at least — I think the Circus Ciniselli's claim to be the first stone circus stands. I will work some of this material into the articles. — Stumps 15:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
