O Candlelight, Candlelight, wherefore art thou so enchanting? Thanks to a sea of candles, talented musicians, and inspiration from legendary artists and composers. Parting will indeed be such sorrow after enjoying this Candlelight Valentine’s Day concert in New Orleans. Taking place on February 16, lovebirds can celebrate the day of love on the weekend instead of trying to squeeze in a romantic plan on the Wednesday.
In fair New Orleans, where we lay our scene, a Listeso string quartet is taking to the candlelit stage at The Sazerac House—a stunning museum showcasing a fascinating legacy. Hold hands, squeeze arms, rest on one another’s shoulders, or sit awkwardly if it’s a first date, but whatever you do, don’t miss out on what is likely to be one of the most popular Valentine’s Day-themed activities.
Candlelight: Valentine’s Day Special ft. “Romeo and Juliet” & More
Okay, a lot of Romeo and Juliet references have already been mentioned, however, there is so much more to this spectacular concert. Audiences will be taking a trip down memory lane, in more of an imagined sense, as the classically-trained musicians perform music from the likes of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Titanic, and more.
From an intermezzo to tango nuevo, the setlist for the Valentine’s Day performance is a welcome blend of the old and the new. Find your seat inside The Sazerac House and prepare to be reintroduced to classic love stories and sentimental notes.
“Borrow Cupid’s wings and soar with them above a common bound.” What’s more, in this case, the wings are uplifting melodies that will transport you and your significant other to new heights of romance. Romeo and Juliet’s tragedy is timeless, Jack and Rose’s a consuming passion, and Holly Golightly’s a winning example of love’s spontaneity. Wrap yourselves up in all this fervent adoration for a memorable Valentine’s Day celebration on February 16.
What’s more, there will be two performances on the day—at 6:30 pm and 9:00 pm.
