Discover the Iconic Southam Hall at the National Arts Centre
Southam Hall at the National Arts Centre (NAC) is one of Canada's most prestigious concert venues, located in the heart of downtown Ottawa, Ontario. As the largest performance hall within the National Arts Centre, Southam Hall has been a cornerstone of Canada's performing arts scene since the NAC opened in 1969. Renowned for its exceptional acoustics, elegant design, and cultural significance, Southam Hall is a premier destination for classical music, orchestral performances, and special live events.
Southam Hall is best known as the primary home of the National Arts Centre Orchestra (NACO), one of Canada's leading orchestras. The hall regularly hosts symphonic concerts, solo recitals, choral performances, film-with-live-orchestra events, and select popular music performances. With a seating capacity of approximately 2,300, Southam Hall delivers a refined yet immersive listening experience that emphasizes sound quality and performance intimacy.
