More reasons to go to Candlelight
Thousands of candles light up every stage
And when we say thousands, we mean thousands. Warm points of light illuminating some of the city’s most iconic landmarks in a way that only candles can (that flickering, that sudden urge to write a poem just because…). From the Global Omnium Auditorium to the Royal Hall of the elegant Hotel Alfonso XIII, Seville’s true architectural treasures are illuminated (literally and metaphorically) with every note.

Classical music for all ears
Low-rise pants may go out of style, but Vivaldi never will. Neither will Tchaikovsky, much less Beethoven. And if listening to them on a record is already a treat for the senses, hearing them live is nothing short of heavenly. That’s why Candlelight offers a wide-ranging program that also includes some of the masterpieces of music history.
Not just classical music
But Candlelight isn’t just about Beethoven and Vivaldi. In addition to its tributes to timeless classics, its program features a wide variety of current hits. Future classics spanning all musical genres: pop, rock, jazz, or even soundtracks. Coldplay, ABBA, Ludovico Einaudi… Where else could you say you’ve heard Julio Iglesias’s “Me Va, Me Va” surrounded by candles and accompanied by a string quartet?
Candlelight Concerts for Every Season
Christmas isn’t quite Christmas without carols, and Valentine’s Day isn’t quite as romantic if you don’t hear “La Vie En Rose” at some point. That’s why, in addition to its regular concert lineup, Candlelight adds special events for key moments of the year with new tributes, new decor, and new settings. From Halloween and Christmas tributes to spring and summer events. Dates meant for celebration—and even more so by candlelight.
Candlelight Musicians
Years of training, hours of rehearsal, and extensive experience are what allow Candlelight’s musicians to turn every melody into pure emotion. Whether on piano or violin, performing classical compositions or pop anthems, Candlelight features true artists in itslineup.
Fun Facts and Fascinating Anecdotes
Bringing music to the audience goes a little beyond a concert where there is “just” music (and thousands of candles). It also relies on understanding the context of what is being heard. Stories, fun facts, and anecdotes about the artists being honored—which the musicians know well—are shared with the audience between performances throughout the concert.
