Summary: The goal of this paper is to introduce large classes of noncommutative varieties in non-regular noncommutative domains in $B(\mathcal H)^n$, where $B(\mathcal H)$ is the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$, and study them in connection with their universal models and the Hardy algebras and $C^*$-algebras they generate. The multivariable operator theory of these varieties is developed throughout the paper. This includes, in particular, the study of non-regular commutative domains generated by admissible free holomorphic functions and interpolation for the multipliers of the weighted symmetric Fock spaces and the corresponding reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces on domains in $\mathbb C^n$.
