As part of the anniversary celebrations, there were a number of display cases out and about in various spots with items from the past history of the NAC. They included props, posters, set maquettes, and more. I will be returning to this Doors Open visit after Canada Day, and will likely be dropping in at the NAC tomorrow, since the venue is celebrating the occasion in a big way.
I like the juxtaposition of the Oscar Peterson and Hip Hop posters, a reflection no doubt of the varied tastes of the past half century. Can't imagine Oscar rapping though!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the NAC doors open was well attended William, I would have been there for sure if I wasn't on the other side of the world ☺
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, William!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Sunday!
A nice overview of the rich history.

ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your Canada Day stuff! We keep a low key celebration. I've neglected doing my Canada Day decor. I have to put red ribbons up on my fencing.
ReplyDeleteWhere the shows are great. That sculpture of Oscar Peterson is very effective and his music more than aok. Bach from Glen Gould cant be surpassed. Lots to celebrate.
