Loreena was a feature performer at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics Opening Ceremony. Below you find details of her appeareance, from Wikipedia (2010 Winter Olympics opening ceremony):

"[...] Rhythms of the Fall.

* Tribute to Atlantic Canada
* Referenced a story of a witched canoe
o A fiddler duelled with his shadow that appears on the moon. The stage was here covered with big red, Canadian maple leaves. The song played during this sequence is the start of 'The Old Ways', performed by Irish/Scottish-Canadian Loreena McKennitt.

* A tap dancer called a river to encircle to main podium.
o Dance by Brock Jelison"

Loreena can be seen on stage, accompanied by an ensemble of fiddle players (not Hugh Marsh though).

Part of this performance can be seen online but I fear cannot compare the live show!
