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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
