How did the circus appear?

Then the troupe of the family Maximiliano Truzzi came to the city. Representation of the residents liked it. They remained impressed for a long time.

For this period in the local archives there were no more references to other wandering troupes that would come to the city. This quite suggests the idea that the Maximiliano family troupe has established a monopoly business here.

In the first decades of the 20th century in Nizhny Tagil, from time to time, other temporary tents were already functioning. The creative collectives that tried to perform in the city were very diverse. They were well received by the local population. The spectators were pleased with the fact that competition stimulates artists to come up with only the best programs.

Soon the local authorities came to the following conclusion: if we create a local circus, Nizhny Tagil will be successful in monetary terms. Therefore, they took up the construction of the building. The project was answered by B. Muratov, who later became director of the circus for very long years. The stationary frame-and-bulk building was insulated for glory to enjoy the spectacular views the city could even in the winter. So in 1931 the Nizhnetagil State Circus appeared.
