The Ukranian National Circus is a center of a circus art, and has achieved nationwide and worldwide recognition. The greatest performers, whose names are written in the history of Ukranian and world circus art in golden letters, had performed on its arena, and many generations of spectators know and remember them. It is a unique experimental platform where theme programs as well as amusement acts and performances in the classical style are developed.

The Circus works ten months a year giving performances in a 2000 seat capacity hall.

On December 28, 2000, it had been 125 years since a permanent circus was founded in Kiev. Before that there were only temporary wooden or canvas circuses. Each of them gave performances just during several months and was disassembled afterwards.

In 1868, Auguste Bergonie, a French citizen, purchased the land at the corner of Fundukleevskaya St. and Novo-Elizavetinskaya St. (now Bogdana Khmelnitskogo St. and Pushkinskaya St.), where nowadays Lesya Ukrainka National Academic Theatre of Russian Drama is located.

On 27th of February, 1875, Bergonie requested a permission from the City Administration to build a permanent stone circus in his estate and got the permission soon. The Bergonie Circus "Alcazar" was opened on Sunday, December 28, 1875. Duke V. Obolensky was appointed as a Head of the Circus. Later the Kiev's permanent circus changed its address several more times.

The present fundamental building of the Ukranian National Circus, opened on the 5th of November, 1960, and located at the 2 Pobeda Sq., meets all requirements of modern circus construction. Architect V. Zhukov designed the circus building and it became the biggest dome construction in the city.

In 1998, the Kiev State Circus was awarded the status of the Ukranian National Circus, which legally allowed it to be called the main circus of Ukraine. The majority of the circus acts are created there and later get performed all over the world.

Today the Circus has its own actors of various genres, a ballet company, and one of the best musical groups. Recently the technical facilities of the Circus had been updated — new light equipment was acquired and this allowed to significantly improve the artistic impression of the performances. Working conditions of actors and circus administration were also improved.
