The way to a man’s heart is not always through his stomach, absence doesn’t have to be the only thing that makes the heart grow fonder, and love isn’t patient forever. That’s why this Valentine’s Day, Candlelight is bringing something special to Detroit designed to sway love using moving melodies and a lot of candles.
A Listeso string quartet is coming to the Crystal Ballroom at Detroit’s Masonic Temple to perform classical takes on some of the greatest love songs of all time. Woo your significant other with chandeliers, decorative arches, classic love stories, compositions by the likes of Puccini, Morricone, and more.
Candlelight: Valentine’s Day Special ft. “Romeo and Juliet” and More
While there is absolutely nothing wrong with roses or chocolates, that predictable bunch of flowers and annual praline treat can become a bit of a letdown. However, there’s something timeless about listening to a string quartet rework iconic songs while sitting surrounded by thousands of flickering candles. What’s more, this mesmerizing performance is taking place at a one-of-a-kind venue.
Fall under the loved-up spell of Céline Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On”, Tchaikovsky’s Fantasy Overture from Romeo and Juliet, and other heartwarming notes. After immersing yourself in the 65-minute concert, you might even find yourself telling your date sweet nothings like, “Anyway the thing is what I really mean, Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen…”
We know it can be tricky to plan a romantic evening out when Valentine’s Day falls on a weekday. Fortunately, with two performances taking place on February 14, you can choose a time that suits your schedule best. And why not enjoy a pre or post-show meal to really get in the lovey-dovey spirit of things?
