The cinema building cannot be seen from the street as it is located in a courtyard behind street buildings and it is reached through a short narrow passage. This cinema opened in 1913, next to the Anchikov Palace on Nevskii Prospekt as the Pikadilly Cinema. It was renamed the Avrora in 1932. The cinema has recently been refurbished, and received a new Dolby digital sound system as well, as well as a new large screen. The Avrora shows first-run Russian fare, as well as some foreign films.

I believe this to be the theater – this person spelled it as Aurora:

Le plus prestigieux cinéma de Russie, l' Aurora, est un des plus vieux cinéma du monde et aussi un des plus beaux aux côtés du cinéma Cosmos de Strasbourg, de l' Urania de Budapest et du Duke of York de Brighton. Son ouverture a lieu le 13 décembre 1913. Je le place dans le panthéon des huit plus anciens cinémas du monde. Dimitri Chostakovitch y dirigea l' orchestre symphonique qui accompagnait certains films à l' époque du muet. Il faut particulièrement souligner l' originalité de sa façade, en demi-cercle, dans le style néo-classique ainsi que ses deux salles remarquables, rénovées en 1998 dans le style Art Nouveau de son origine. Le cinéma Aurora éblouit aujourd' hui encore le monde entier de sa prestigieuse beauté.
