What better venue than the ThéâtredesBernardines for a concert of variety and pop rock, paying tribute to a French music legend. With its intimate decor and red velvet, this exceptional venue will have you swirling in the tunes of Jean-Jacques Goldman. Everyone knows the songs of this French singer-songwriter, and if you don’t, now’s the time to remedy the situation!
Widely recognized as masters of their genre, Queen have transcended the boundaries of rock and cleverly blended it with unlikely sounds. We Are the Champions has become a veritable anthem, still chanted today, I Want To Break Free has gone beyond the status of music to become a symbol, and Don’t Stop Me Now is a timeless reference. If Freddy Mercury’s voice and life have forever marked a generation, today Candlelight pays tribute to this legendary band with their music in classic format.
Sometimes it’s hard to choose between all the artists Candlelight has to offer. But the Swedish pop group, winners of the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest and with an impressive career behind them, are a good choice! The Théâtre des Bernardines, with its warm ambience, seemed to us the ideal place to perform a selection of ABBA’s best songs, for a moment of light-hearted joy. Relive your memories or discover this essential group in this special moment.
