One of the best live music venues and there is not a bad seat in the house. The ballet and musicals that they get touring in Ottawa are always exciting! A must if you visit Ottawa.

Reena B-S

Your place in Ottawa to see Broadway shows on tour , as well as great locally-produced English and French theatre .

Andre Lalonde

We saw Vigilante, a Rock Opera about the Black Donnellys of Southern Ontario. Wonderful acting, singing, and music . Highly recommended!

Ladies & Gentlemen! PLEASE cut back on perfume and cologne at any of the events here! It makes some of our eyes tear up so we can't even see the stage! No Scents Is GOOD Sense! Thank you.

Did you know there are hatha yoga classes every tuesday from 12 to 1pm? Last floor of Southam Hall, 10$.

No matter what kind of music you prefer, be it classical works by Beethoven or major country and western recording stars, Ottawa has a concert for you. Read more

Watch high school teams go head-to-head every year at the Canadian Improv Games National Festival in April (see http://improv.ca/ for details).

Eric Rupp

Great place for all the musical arts . The NACO is amazing.

Sabrina S.

Great performing arts venue , students should take advantage of live rush tickets

Eric Stewart

Please be on time for your show. Ottawa theatregoers tend to show up at the last minute and expect to be seated.

Marc Lijour

Nice coffee , and good service

RiteanDan

The MOST uncomfortable seats I've EVER sat in for any event , be it at a theatre , concert , etc.!? Be prepared! Seat Numbering system also very confusing and not very accommodating to Disabled Patrons.
