Loreena McKennitt « The Mask and Mirror - 30th Anniversary Tour »

Loreena McKennitt brings her The Mask and Mirror – 30th Anniversary Tour to Stuttgart: on 9 March 2027 at the Beethoven Hall. At its center is the 1994 album in which the Canadian artist links Celtic traditional lines with sonic landscapes from Spain, the Mediterranean and the Near East. On stage she relies on an acoustic lineup; the voice takes the lead, supported by strings and subtle arrangements that leave space for ballads, instrumental pieces and set-to-music texts. The evening reweaves the threads of this material and places the emphasis on atmosphere, storytelling and the agility of her melodies.

Since the 1980s McKennitt has pursued her own path between folk, Celtic motifs and so-called world sounds. Releases such as The Visit, The Mask and Mirror and The Book of Secrets have shaped this territory; live she presents it with chamber-music clarity. For the anniversary she brings the travel tales, poems and motifs of The Mask and Mirror back into the spotlight — with an ensemble that highlights fine nuances and sustains the dialogue between voice, strings and percussion. A focused look at a body of work that continues to define her signature to this day.
