If the world of cinema were a puzzle, soundtracks would be one of its most important pieces. Since the introduction of sound films in the 1920s, music in movies has conquered the place it deserves. It has become an art form that never ceases to make us fall in love, whether with the notes of composers such as John Williams or Ennio Morricone.
Whether you consider yourself a film buff or a music lover, soundtracks have brought tears to our eyes and will continue to do so. Also in the tribute concerts to this essential and unforgettable film music, as is the case of Candlelight in Seville. Candlelight tributes to spectacular soundtracks such as Bridgerton, Studio Ghibli or iconic spy movies.
Indelible themes of our memory that you will be able to listen to in a way as unique as their notes: with the intimate live sound of strings or piano, and surrounded by thousands of candles. An (almost) extrasensory experience that will make you relive those productions in a completely unique way.

Candlelight soundtrack concerts highlighted in Seville
Candlelight Sping: Magical Soundtracks
Let yourself be enveloped by the magic of the soundtracks that marked generations in this spectacular tribute concert decorated with candles and flowers. A string quartet will bring to life the most iconic melodies of animation and adventure films, from those that made us dream of princes and glass shoes, to those that took us to a chocolate factory or to sail the oceans in search of lost treasures. All this in an incomparable setting: the Global Omnium Auditorium.

Where to see live soundtrack concerts in Seville
That live music is part of Seville’s DNA is a fact. And that also includes soundtrack concerts. Places like the Cartuja Center CITE or the Fibes Auditorium are part of some of the scenarios in which movies have crossed the screen to be heard in person.
As well as other emblematic places in the city such as the Hospital Los Venerables, the Casa de Salinas or the Global Omnium Auditorium. All of them stages chosen to be covered with the magic of thousands of candles in each Candlelight concert. Points of light that, with each note of the film scores, seem to shine a little brighter.
“Sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie.” – George Lucas
How do soundtracks help film narratives?
The strategic use of music can transform a scene into an unforgettable moment. With changes in tonality, orchestration and rhythm, composers are able to alter the audience’s emotions. For example, in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Astros Dance scene is accompanied by Richard Strauss’ Also sprach Zarathustra, creating an epic and transcendental moment. A use of classical music that elevates the scene to an almost mythical level.
One of the great powers of film music is to transport us to that place and/or time through different elements such as instruments, melodies or rhythms. Who has not felt in the classic Hollywood of the 40’s and 50’s, watching La La Land? A use of jazz and orchestral music that evokes the magic and romanticism of the musicals of that time, immersing us in that dream of cinema.
A curious fact about film music.
The famous Jaws melody, composed of only two repetitive notes (E and F), became a universal symbol of terror and one of the most recognizable pieces in the history of cinema.
