Valentine’s Day, the one day when the pressure’s on to prove your love by selecting the perfect card with just the right amount of sentimentality and humour. But most importantly, it’s a time where we collectively agree to unleash our inner romantic, dust off those cheesy puns, and splurge on chocolates and champagne—all in the name of celebrating the peculiar phenomenon called love. This February though, you can swap the same-old sweets and cards for a magical Candlelight Valentine’s Day concert in Brisbane.
After all, who doesn’t enjoy a good excuse to indulge in the mawkish corners of our souls without feeling guilty about being corny? From hearing timeless love songs from classic films, such as Titanic and The Bodyguard to other well-known romantic melodies like “Your Song” and “O Mio Babbino Caro”, the classic tunes combined with the warm light of thousands of gleaming candles make for an unforgettably romantic evening out, you’ll remember for many more V-Days to come.
Candlelight Valentine’s: Timeless Love Songs from Classic Films
If romance was a concert, we’re pretty sure it would look something like this. In February, Candlelight is taking their gorgeous Valentine’s specials to Saint John’s Anglican Cathedral and Grand on Ann so that couples can snuggle up and hear famous love songs live. Amid a sea of candles, “City of Stars” as heard in La La Land, “Love Theme” from Cinema Paradiso and many more songs from classic films will be performed by Paradiso Strings.
Celebrate love with some of the most iconic ballads ever written at the Candlelight Valentine’s Day special. Sit back, relax and let the gifted musicians of a string quartet take you on a musical journey packed with romance and enchantment.
