The Alhambra palace was a great place to hold a concert. perfect for Loreena, but there are many other famous landmarks that would also be great places for a concert. someone had the idea of Stonehenge, I had the idea of the Great Wall of China. does anyone else have some ideas? I've listed a few, but tell me what your are.

Question:
where would you like to see Loreena do a Concert? (please bear in mind that it may not be legal to perform in some of these places...we can dream though, can't we?

Choices:
Stonehenge, Salisbury, UK
The Great Wall of China
The Colusseum, Rome, Italy
The Taj Mahal, Agra, India
Uluru, Northern Territory, Australia
The Temple of Heaven, Beijing, China
Other (please specify)...

 

Dear All, I hope one day we will see Loreena performing in the middle east, here in Syria we have so many ancient places, such as Palmyra and Busra Roman Stadium.

Jesse, what are the chances of her (Loreena McKennitt)performing at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.? Loreenya

Hello wildflower!
I like the look of this castle! I haven't seen the third link yet as it is taking too long to load and I don't have a lot of time to look at it today, but the first two links are quite fascinating, although the thumbnail pictures in the first link wouldn't properly load a larger picture (it only showed a small portion of the top-left corner ).

Wouldn't it be lovely if Loreena could perform a few KMs from where you live? I wish that would happen to me (yes, Loreena that is a hint)!

I would much prefer if Ms. McKennitt had performed in a venue that has religious significance. One of them I have in mind is the Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral. How about St. Peter's Square in the Vatican? I am looking more at historical Marian shrines as a venue.

Hello, Jesse!
I've never seen this post before. in fact I've post my idea about your question in another place
I live in Bari, in the south of Italy, and some kilometres far there is a wonderful castle called "Castel del Monte". This old and historical castle is situated above a hill and in my opinion it is a perfect place for a Loreena's summer performance.
Below I get some links where you can see the castle.
What do you think about it? let me know.
Smiles, Mary

As much as I love the Chinese locations, I voted for Stonehenge, as the mysteriousness of its history would go well with Loreena's style. Obviously Standing Stones would have to be on the setlist!

In these last days I was roaming through the downtown of Pisa, Tuscany, where you can admire its own typical leaning tower....I imagine you know. So, at a certain point when I was walking across the beautiful 'Piazza dei Cavalieri', I said to myself: 'This square would be the perfect setting for a new summer Loreena's outdoor!!!' Loreena, I assure you that you could like it; since you are coming to Italy next week, you could take a day off and come down to Pisa to check this location. It won't let you down.

BYE Loreena, I wish you a good and 'safe' travel to Italy, as weather conditions and forcasts are actually bad...so much snow in North, but I forgot you live so many months in the snow,it won't be a problem.
Kisses...

Thanks everyone for their ideas so far!
Loreena, I hope you're reading this and feel inspired.

Hey, how about Persepolis!

I go in Mongolia too!

I voted other, as I'd like to see Loreena perform in Venice, Italy at Piazza S. Marco, or even at the Arena of Verona, in Verona, Italy.

I wish to add even Piazza del Campo, Siena, Tuscany, Italy. They all would be open-air concerts, to be held in the Summer.

Hi Jesse:
Of course I enjoy seeing Loreena´s concerts in any place. But I love one place "ABU SIMBEL" in the esplanade placed between the temples.
A magic and lovely place for a wonderfull singer.
But ....Stonehenge, Salisbury, UK...Thats Ok!!!
