NCC’s award-winning sound and light show begins tomorrow night on Parliament Hill at 10 pm
The National Capital Commission (NCC), in collaboration with the exclusive sponsor Manulife Financial, is pleased to present the summer season of Mosaika: Canada through the eyes of its people, beginning tomorrow night at 10 pm on Parliament Hill.
NEW! For its third season, this award-winning sound and light show will feature new content about hockey and an enhanced finale.
During the summer, Mosaika will be presented each evening, free of charge, from July 6 until September 3, 2012 (weather permitting). Spectators can experience this amazing production in July at 10 pm, in August at 9:30 pm, and in September at 9 pm.
This 30-minute bilingual experience uses spectacular lighting effects, stunning animated projections and a rich tapestry of words, music and sounds to tell the story of Canada using the spectacular backdrop of the Peace Tower and the Centre Block.
Canadians can contribute to the interactive preshow
An eye-catching element of the show returns. Every evening, Mosaika is preceded by a uniquely interactive preshow, involving Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast. By logging onto www.mosaika-sl.ca, visitors can create videos or post messages that are considered for integration into the preshow, which is updated regularly throughout the season with these contributions. Those who record a video on the website are able to view and share their messages online with the chance of having them projected on the Parliament Buildings on the evening of a show.
