Dubai’s music lovers are in for a spellbinding experience as the Candlelight concert series returns to some of the city’s most elegant venues, blending classical artistry with modern hits under the soft glow of candlelight.
The series offers a curated lineup of performances that pay tribute to musical legends across genres — from the cinematic scores of Hans Zimmer to pop icons like Adele, Coldplay, and Nancy Ajram — all reimagined in classical form. Equally enchanting are the settings: venues such as Shangri-La Dubai and Raffles The Palm are transformed into atmospheric sanctuaries with thousands of flickering candles lighting up the space.
Whether you're a fan of stirring orchestral pieces or modern anthems with a classical twist, each evening is designed to immerse audiences in music and ambiance. Highlights include:
Candlelight Open Air: Coldplay vs. Imagine Dragons – a powerful blend of emotional ballads like The Scientist and Viva La Vida with chart-toppers Radioactive and Demons.
Candlelight Open Air: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons – a timeless journey through the moods of spring, summer, autumn, and winter brought to life with string ensemble mastery.
These performances not only celebrate musical excellence but also offer a unique, intimate setting that elevates the listener’s connection to the art.
