A mysterious world under the dome: a New Year's show at the Fontanka Circus!
The Great St. Petersburg State Circus, Russia's first stone circus, is a veritable treasure trove of wonders. In anticipation of the holidays, it is transformed: thousands of lights illuminate the dome, the arena transforms into a magical land, and a decorated Christmas tree appears in the center of the hall. As soon as the lights dim and the first chords of enchanting music ring out, the audience forgets their daily worries and embarks on a wondrous journey.
Each New Year's performance at the Circus on Fontanka is a unique story, created to amaze and delight. It is not just a collection of individual acts, but a holistic show with a captivating plot, starring Father Frost and the Snow Maiden. Along with them, the audience goes through numerous trials, encountering kind and cunning fairytale characters, and ultimately, lighting the Christmas tree and saving their favorite holiday.
A true circus extravaganza unfolds in the arena. Fearless aerialists soar under the dome like fairytale birds; acrobats demonstrate the incredible capabilities of the human body; dexterous jugglers play with objects, seemingly defying the laws of gravity; and cheerful clowns bring genuine laughter and joy. A special place in the program is occupied by acts with trained animals: graceful horses, clever dogs, and other four-legged performers evoke a storm of applause from the audience.
The New Year's show at the Circus on Fontanka is the perfect family event. It instills in children a belief in miracles, allows them to see their eyes filled with happiness and wonder, and allows them to experience powerful emotions together. Adults won't be left indifferent either: the performance takes them back to their childhood and allows them to once again experience the genuine joy of holiday anticipation. Don't miss the opportunity to be part of this magic and get into the New Year's spirit for the whole year ahead. Tickets for the New Year's performance "Snow Dreams" are available for purchase on our website.
