It was founded on January 8, 1912 by Vladimir Durov [ru], who also founded the famous Durov's circus dynasty. Durov was a well-known animal trainer and zoologist who developed his own system of training, that did not involve any punishment of the animals. His theatre also included a natural history museum and a science laboratory.[2]

The theatre building was designed in 1894 by the architect August Weber.[3] The theatre is currently located in the same facility; the street had been renamed in Durov's honour in 1927.[4]
