Description
The building of the Samara State Philharmonic, as it can be seen today, stands on the site of the former circus-theater "Olymp." This circus was built in 1907 according to the design by architect Platon Vasilyevich Shamansky and was located closer to the intersection of modern Frunze and L. Tolstoy streets. The circus building had an elegant exterior with tall windows and reliefs, and a chamfered corner serving as the entrance. It housed a large auditorium with 1100 seats and had its own permanent concert orchestra. Here, not only circus performances took place but also performances by opera and drama artists, as well as lectures by renowned scientists.
Since 1940, the circus-theater building has become the home of the Samara State Philharmonic. In 1974, a decision was made to reconstruct the building, which led to the complete destruction of the old "Olympus." The new Philharmonic building was constructed slightly further away from the intersection. The architect of the new building was Yuri Vasilyevich Khramov, who managed to preserve many architectural features of the old building. In 1988, the new building opened to the public and continues to serve as a venue for concerts, musical-lecture activities, and other cultural events to this day.
