“What light through yonder window breaks?” It is the warm sea of candles that travels with the Candlelight series! This Valentine’s Day, bring all of your star-crossed lovers’ energy and inner romantic to Miller Hall for a Candlelight special inspired by classic films and eternal pieces. “Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief that” this captivating performance might shine brighter than any light or even the Earth’s only natural satellite.
Take or leave the predictable bouquet or underwhelming box of chocolates, and swap them out for a string quartet’s takes on some of the greatest love songs of all time. The soul-stirring concert will revisit music from the likes of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Titanic, The Mission, and more.
Candlelight: Valentine’s Day Special ft. “Romeo and Juliet” and More
Valentine’s Day is approaching and you might find yourself scratching your lovey-dovey head in search of an original idea. Well, Candlelight’s got you covered. After all, what says “be mine” more than a stunning setting flooded by countless candles and a Listeso string quartet playing a bit of Tchaikovsky and Debussy?
Channel your inner Holly Golightly or Jack Dawson while enjoying this 60-minute performance in Portland. Furthermore, there’ll be tributes to Astor Piazzolla’s Libertango, Pietro Mascagni’s Intermezzo, and even Ennio Morricone’s Gabriel’s Oboe. As all of the passionate notes align so will your hearts, cheesy but warranted given the concert’s theme.
After absorbing every last loved-up melody, parting will be “such sweet sorrow”. However, you can make the most of the evening out as there will be two performances taking place. Book a table at an intimate restaurant for a pre or post-show meal.
