Seven Drunken Nights: The Story of the Dubliners
2025-10-02 19:00 - 21:00 | Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe, 101 Centrepointe Drive, Nepean, Ontario, K2G 5K7, Canada
Direct from London’s West End, Seven Drunken Nights – The Story of The Dubliners returns stages in 2025.
In partnership with Tourism Ireland and in association with legendary Irish pub O’Donoghue’s—the place where it all started for The Dubliners back in 1962—Seven Drunken Nights tells the story of a career spanning 50 years and invokes the spirit of Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Barney McKenna, John Sheahan, Ciaran Bourke and Jim McCann.
So much more than a jukebox musical celebration of The Dubliners, the show stars its charismatic writer and director Ged Graham, whose narration warmly guides the audience through the fascinating life of the group in between stunning performances of so many of their celebrated classics, including The Irish Rover, The Leaving of Liverpool, Belle of Belfast City, Dirty Old Town, The Banks of the Rose, Star of the County Down and The Town I Love So Well.

Shelley, Strauss & Dharmoo
2025-10-02 20:00 - 22:00 | National Arts Centre, 1 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5W1, Canada
Three things to know:

Alexander Shelley conducts a program highlighting two composers who use music to create mythic tales of heroes and villains.
In his massive musical poem Ein Heldenleben, Richard Strauss traces a journey of love and struggle inspired by the composer’s favourite hero—himself!
Gabriel Dharmoo constructs an imaginary body of folklore in Wanmansho, a theatrical work for solo vocalist and orchestra.

“I don’t see why I shouldn’t compose a symphony about myself. I find myself quite as interesting as Napoleon,” Richard Strauss once wrote.
With that bold battle cry of confidence, Richard Strauss composed Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life), harnessing the power of a super-sized orchestra to embark on a personal journey of love, art, and struggle. Get ready to hear music of cinematic realism as Strauss vividly portrays his memories of falling in love, waging war against his critics, and finding peace in the act of creation.
Canadian composer and vocalist Gabriel Dharmoo creates a hero of his own imagination in Wanmansho: the greatest ambassador of a mythical tradition of sung theatre. As he invites us to witness sacred rites depicting two mythological figures, Shreu and Djonr, Dharmoo embodies the spirit of Wanmansho while pushing the boundaries of symphonic storytelling.
