Ballet classics and Opera scores also get the Candlelight treatment in Melbourne alongside contemporary greats. But, if classical isn’t quite your jam, then no worries because Candlelight continues to up the offering with tribute concerts to some of Jazz’s most celebrated artists. They too have been hugely popular with more concerts on the cards for jazz cats to enjoy.

Rock greats also get their famous songs performed by string quartets or piano duos while even dance music legends have found their tracks changing synths for strings. However, pop hits and popular tracks by chart-topping bands and performers have wildly captivated audiences basked in the flickering light of candles.

There are plenty of other special and unique concerts by Candlelight coming up, including tributes to anime songs and tributes to magical movie moments as well as famed film scores from sci-fi and fantasy as well as anime. These should definitely not be missed by any and all fans of the genres.
