The sights of Sweden are not only its islands and castles , monuments of art, historical buildings and churches. One of the interesting objects for tourists is the circus building in the capital of the country.
What is remarkable about this place?
The first building of the circus was built in 1830 by the French circus owner Didier Gaultier. In 1869, he sold his case to Adelie Hooke, later the whole building was burned down.
The Stockholm Circus was formerly known as the Circus Theater. Its opening took place on May 25, 1892 on the entertainment island of Djurgården. The auditorium is designed for 1650 visitors, and rarely when there were empty seats. The building is very good acoustics.
Nowadays circus theatrical performances are still arranged in the arena of the circus in Stockholm , but more often in the building there are thematic exhibitions, conferences and other social events. On other days in the circus of Stockholm there are recordings of various TV programs and musical performances.
