“At the National Arts Centre, we love nothing more than welcoming an audience,” began NAC president and CEO Christopher Deacon after taking to the stage in the Babs Asper Theatre on Friday to officially greet guests for a special occasion.
The invite-only crowd was there to watch a one-hour show that aired that night on CBC/Radio-Canada in honour of this year’s Governor General's Performing Arts Awards laureates. “Tonight, it’s absolutely wonderful to have you here with us in this beautiful theatre to share this experience together,” Deacon continued.
