Loreena McKennitt: Nights from the Alhambra
An enchanted night of Celtic music beneath the stars in Moorish Spain, Nights from the Alhambra presents Loreena McKennitt’s first-ever live concert film. The performances were filmed in Granada, Spain at the Palacio de Carlos V in the Alhambra Palace historic monument in September 2006. McKennitt is one of very few artists in the modern era to have been granted permission to perform in this breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site. Over 18 songs, Loreena leads viewers through her best-selling catalogue, from traditional Celtic ballads to literary narratives. Selections from the concerts originally aired on PBS in the United States as a “Great Performances” special.
