Candlelight: Disney Love Songs
This concert offers a glimpse intoan ideal world. Candlelight and Disney join forces for the first time in this nostalgic tribute to the soundtracks that shaped our childhoods. From classics like Beauty and the Beast and Tarzan to more modern films like Coco and Encanto, the songs from the movies we fell in love with as children will now be performed at the Four Seasons Hotel by a professional string quartet.
Candlelight: Tribute to La Oreja de Van Gogh
If there’s one song that absolutely has to be on any self-respecting 2000s playlist, it’s “La Playa.” And “Rosas.” And “20 de enero.” And literally any song by La Oreja de Van Gogh. So, nostalgia lovers with good taste: this is your tribute. Iconic songs that will be performed live by candlelight at the Círculo de Bellas Artes. It really is a bit of “Dulce Locura.”
Candlelight Premium: A Tribute to Coldplay
Is it “feelslikeimfallinginlove,” or can we already experience this tribute? A tribute to that band whose tracks aren’t just songs—they’re anthems. “The Scientist, ” “Yellow, ” “A Sky Full of Stars”… melodies we’ve all sung at some point, which will now ring out among thousands of candles thanks to this concert at the Four Seasons Hotel in Madrid. And all performed by a professional string quartet. We don’t know what Paradise is like , but it’s very likely something like this.
Candlelight: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons
One of the most important compositions in the history of music, presented in a completely different way. The Pontifical Basilica of St. Michael becomes the ideal setting to experience Vivaldi’s Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter in a new light. A magical concert where a live string quartet will remind you why *The Four Seasons * is (and always will be) a classic.
Candlelight Ballet: Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake
The echoes of Tchaikovsky’s *Swan Lake* resonate with timeless beauty, where purity, fate, and love intertwine in an eternal dance. Under the soft glow of candlelight and the dancers’ movements, the music becomes a wordless tale that continues to move the world more than a century later. Each chord from the violins seems to float on the water, reminding us why this work remains a symbol of emotion and artistic perfection.
