We attended a performance of ‘The Importance of being Earnest’ at the National Arts Centre this past weekend. The production was very enjoyable and the venue was modern and functional. There were 2 intermissions and both times the refreshment kiosk was swamped with customers while another nearby refreshment area remained closed. Perhaps this business model should be reviewed.

I visited the NAC for the first time to see Chris Hadfield speak. This is a very large building, but easy to get around. Underground parking is available and I think it was 11$. Pay in advance before your performance in order to avoid long lineups when leaving. We parked by the handicapped parking as it was very close to the entry door, so look for this area when parking. You can leave your coats and boots in the car as you won't need them. Our seats were in the top balcony, and the lineups for the bathrooms can be long, so make sure to pit stop in advance of your show. It was quite warm up in the balcony so dress light or in light layers, so u can easily remove. We do in advance of the performance at Le Cafe which is a few flights down from the main stage auditorium. It is very convenient to do this, but also a very expensive restaurant. The restaurant is classy and worth the price if you can afford an expensive night out.

The National Arts Centre is pretty Plain Jane, no really, it's pretty barren on the outside in a kind of weird, even for the 60's, kind of way. But the content! Surprisingly perhaps, Ottawa's NAC gets a good helping of artistic talent both local and from around the world on an almost routine basis. It's also quite esoteric too with dance, theatre and musicals, modern and classical alike...they're all here at one point in time or another...and it's pretty good value too. And, it's unlikely that you'll run into a sold out performance which is strange one might think. If you don't get out much, or consider a trip to the local cinema a treat, then you're in for a very special visit. Bigger than it looks too. And who would argue with a view of the Rideau Canal on one side and the War memorial on the other...all of it within easy walking distance of the Parliament Buildings.

Besides the events, it cannot be visited and not much to see inside. Outside on the hand, they have a patio restaurant overlooking the canal Nd is very nice.

We were invited to a dance performance, which is not something I thought I would enjoy. However, the performance was wonderful! The calibre of the performance was world class. The staff - attendants, coat check, bartenders were extremely friendly and professional. We attended a reception at the NAC after, the food was great, and again the service fantastic. I will try to attend again, as soon as possible!

It's quite something. Very beautiful. It's pretty easy to find our way there, and we can also ask the friendly staff and they'll help us find what we're looking for. There are many performances there and it's a very pleasant experience. It a pretty fancy place, and people dress up to go there (informal attire: suits, dresses, pant suit, etc. Not super fancy, but not casual wear). It's a pleasant place to go to for a pleasant evening (dinner and a show, just a show, etc.). I recommend it to anyone.

We attended "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde with their repertoire group in the Theatre (not the large Southam Hall) This was a perfect venue for this play. The steeply raked seats offer an excellent view from just about everywhere - the seats with poor views were blocked off. The play was well done, the sets very well done and the acting entertaining. We had a thoroughly good time. A couple of very odd issues though; the first was that at each of the TWO intermissions, only one small bar opened with two attendants serving - the line was nearly 60 people long and the intermission nowhere near long enough for all to be served. The water fountains are placed - very strangely - in the washrooms, with the fountain in the men's washroom just a few feet from the urinals - not appealing. Why the NAC would not open more bars and cash in on what looked like a middle-aged, moneyed crowd who wanted a gin and tonic. We surmised the union had a limit on how many staff could work? No sane or responsible manager would have staffed this way. Other than the intermission issues, the primary reason for attending - the play - was outstanding.

This gallery has some of the best art in the world. Artists that you wouldn't expect to be there are there. Will visit again.

I absolutely love the NAC. The staff are so friendly, the show variety is awesome, and the prices are reasonable. You won't be disappointed.
