Omsk State Circus, Circus building in Omsk, Russia.
The Omsk State Circus is a circus building in Omsk with a circular structure featuring multiple seating levels arranged around a central performance ring. The facility contains specialized equipment for acrobats, animals, and various entertainment acts.
The Omsk State Circus opened on October 14, 1973, during the Soviet era when circus arts and performer training received substantial government funding. This period shaped the tradition of permanent resident performer groups and ongoing development of new acts.
The circus serves as a training and performance venue where local performers develop traditional Russian circus techniques including aerial acrobatics. Visitors can watch artists refine their skills and debut new acts in front of audiences.
The building provides seating for hundreds of spectators, and shows run throughout the year. It is helpful to check for current performances before visiting and arrive early to get oriented in the venue.
The facility maintains a permanent group of resident artists who regularly develop and perform new acts. This ongoing artist presence distinguishes the Omsk Circus from touring circus groups that visit temporarily.
