Beautiful Talent!
National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - Ottawa
The orchestra performed the music very very well. At times during the performance, it was hard to believe I was hearing and witnessing their performance. While watching the movie as well, I forgot that the music was live because it was so smoothly integrated alongside the film. Nothing was offbeat and you could sense the passion in the sound the orchestra was producing. Keep up the good work and thank you for such a lovely experience!

Beautiful! This is how music should be heard

I attended the "Mary Poppins in concert live to film" and I was pleased with the conductor and the entire orchestra's sound and attention to detail.

Ok.. but host should speak in both languages
National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - Ottawa
We enjoyed the concert. But the host Annick should have spoken in both languages. Most of the time she would only spoke in French which was disappointing for English spoken people. What she was saying was never repeated in English. The NAC should have known that the host should speak in both languages. The music, conductor and so on were very good.. but reason I am giving a 2 star is because of the host.

Very entertaining show

We loved our experience at the Pops show at the NAC. We felt the show ran a little short and there were artists that werent highlighted. But overall it was fun and upbeat show. The performers did a fantastic job and the conductor was hilarious.

Great Ensemble
National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - Ottawa
I say a great ensemble, meaning the top-notch NAC Orchestra and one outstanding singer of two who were singing, Julie Reiner! Wow, what a voice and a fantastic stage presence. Anytime she was on stage was special, including having to support Bryce Ryness, who I think is miscast as a singer for the 80s MIX TAPE presentation. If not for Julie and the NAC playing the great hits, the evening with Bryce singing the male parts would have been disappointing.

I bought my family (15F,12M,10F) ticket to this show....the three of them where all grumpy going in: it’s going to be boring, I am bringing my pillow, bla-bla-bla well guess who was clapping, singing and smiling! NAC is an amazing public space! Let’s enjoy it.

A night of fun and nostalgia
National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - Ottawa
My husband and I could not stop smiling, singing and clapping along. The night was very entertaining and we had to find an 80's radio station for the drive home... We both thing we should hire the orchestra to follow us around to provide the backing sound track for our lives! This was the first pops experience for both of us, we will keep an eye out for the next!
