The 10 Best Performances in Canada, Canada

December 5, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

World class skiing, decadent European style cuisine, ornamental cathedrals, peaceful island life…Canada is a patchwork of thriving cities and majestic wilderness. Montreal beckons travelers with its French charm and booming cultural landscape. In Toronto, the Art Gallery of Ontario is a vision of Frank Gehry architecture and national artistic treasures. The gleaming mountain ranges of Banff set a stunning backdrop for an exploration of the Canadian Rockies.

Ross Family Ceilidh

Reviewed By AlexisB740 - Milwaukee, United States

We saw the Ross Family at their once per week performance at The Guild in Charlottetown on July 9. This is a trio of siblings who each have a gift of extraordinary musical talent. That would be enough, but that they manage to also provide a very entertaining and energetic show is icing on the cake. They have obviously evolved into a "well oiled machine," spellbinding the audience with incredible musicianship , demonstrating intricate and synchronized step dancing routines while standing, sitting and -- in one incredible instance --while standing on her head and still playing fiddle! There were a couple of stunts I thought they could omit (e.g., playing the fiddle under a leg, playing the guitar backwards, while resting it on her shoulders) because I was already totally impressed and these seemed superfluous by the time they did them. But the three siblings are consummate performers, who never seemed to miss a beat in a show that was absorbing and thoroughly entertaining. We were very happy to have spent our last of seven evenings on PEI experiencing the talents of The Ross Family!

I have heard about Shakespear on the Saskatchewan for years but have never seem to gone, until July 2019. I finally pulled the trigger on this and a combo with the Prairie Lily. I must say this is a first class act of live play/theatre. The actors were great, engaging and top notch. I saw A Comedy of Errors. It was great. I have to make this a more regular activity. So worth it.

Seneca Queen Theatre

Seneca Theatre was built in 1941 with a seating capacity for 911. It was originally owned by Famous Players theatre. The theatre hosted many events over the years, including the Canadian premiere of Marilyn Monroe’s film “Niagara” on January 28,1953. In 1984 Cineplex Odeon took it over and the theatre was twined into two cinema’s. Cinema 1, had 569 seats, Cinema 2, 211 seats for a total of 780 seats. A large, illuminated marquee was part of the original facade, the upper part of which still exhibits art deco styling. The interior was decorated throughout with native Seneca motifs such as birch bark-cast plaster walls, ceremonial masks and belt designs. The theatre is hoping to restore the masks and marquee in the not too distant future. The Seneca Queen Theatre today holds 307 comfortable seats, each with a perfect view of the stage, lots of leg room. We are fully licensed and offer both movies and live entertainment. We are also available for private rentals.
