National Arts Centre

Our Lady Peace brought their Wonderful Future (Theatrical Hologram Experience) Tour to the National Arts Centre on Tuesday night.

While this weekend’s weather looks questionable, that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying one (or many!) of this weekend’s events.

NAC Indigenous Theatre’s Indigenous Art Market is back for its first in-person event since December 2019.

Charlotte Cardin played two back-to-back shows at the NAC this weekend, proving that she’s one of Canada’s biggest pop stars.

The band’s packed tour schedule continues in Europe and the U.S. throughout the rest of 2022.

Barb Popel: “I was eager to see Calpurnia. So too, obviously, was the audience on opening night. It was the first night of the “Rolling Thunder Ottawa” motorcycle convoy and the NAC building was in the middle of the police “Red Zone”. Nevertheless, there were quite a few people in the audience. Most of the audience laughed at the funny bits, especially in the second act, and almost all of the audience gave the actors a standing ovation.”

Hopefully a lot of you have a long weekend to enjoy, whether you’re celebrating anything or not! There are plenty of great local events for you to enjoy, and some of them involve finding chocolate eggs.

Bad news: the forecast calls for rain this weekend. Good news: it’ll (hopefully!) wash away the final remnants of winter just in time for spring blooms to decorate the city. While waiting on that sunny weather, here are a few things to keep you occupied.

National Arts Centre executive chef Kenton Leier sits down with resident chef Renée Lavallée to talk about cooking philosophies, ingredients and influence from their home cities, and how one navigates a culinary career as a parent.

With daylight savings bringing an extra hour of sunshine to our wakeful time and the promise of light at the end of our workday, we hope this puts a little spring in your step ahead of the official change in seasons next weekend. There is plenty to do with that bit of extra pep this weekend, so without further ado, we give you: the Weekend Roundup.
