The Ennio Morricone Experience is an orchestral tribute to the Italian film composer, best known for his scores for Sergio Leone’s westerns including The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The show plays Market Place Theatre’s main auditorium on Saturday 10 October 2026, working through Morricone’s film themes with a live ensemble rather than a small band, which suits the scale of his orchestral writing.
It is a different kind of concert to most of the theatre’s autumn programme, aimed at film music and orchestral fans rather than the tribute-pop or country acts that make up much of the rest of the schedule. The venue’s main auditorium, with its 400-seat capacity and full sound and lighting rig, is well suited to a larger ensemble show like this one.
Market Place Theatre sits on Market Street in Armagh city centre. Armagh is roughly 40 minutes from Belfast via the A3, and around an hour from Dublin via the M1 and A28. Translink buses run from Belfast’s Europa Buscentre into Armagh bus station on Lonsdale Road, a short walk from the theatre, and pay-and-display parking is available nearby on Thomas Street and Scotch Street.
Armagh’s compact city centre makes it easy to build a full evening around a show. Two cathedrals, both named St Patrick’s, sit on facing hilltops in the city, and the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium is a short walk from Market Street. A number of pubs and restaurants around the Shambles and English Street are within easy reach for dinner beforehand.
