Live Entertainment in Ottawa

Canadian Tire Centre is home to the Ottawa Senators — presenting NHL hockey in Canada's capital city and major concerts for the National Capital Region. Ottawa's remarkable position as Canada's capital (the only capital among the G7 nations not to have a sports team in at least three of the four major North American professional leagues) and the Senators' passionate Ottawa fan base create sporting events of genuine Canadian capital city significance.

National Arts Centre is the most important performing arts institution in Canada — a beautifully modernized Ottawa venue presenting outstanding orchestral concerts, opera, ballet, theater, and dance. The NAC's extraordinary programming across five performance venues (Canadian Stage, French Theatre, English Theatre, Azrieli Studio, Kipnes Lantern) and its remarkable role as Canada's federal arts institution create a performing arts center of singular Canadian cultural heritage significance.
