V-Day hits differently for everyone—maybe it’s the day you cringe at the pressure of being single, embrace Galentine’s Day with your besties, gush over a new romance, celebrate a rock-solid relationship, or just pretend the whole thing doesn’t exist. But here’s the thing: leaning into the warm and fuzzy side of the day means you get to enjoy spectacular experiences, like a Candlelight Valentine’s Day concert in Stockholm. Think moving music, dreamy candlelight, and a live string quartet—all perfect ingredients for a memory that lasts.
Candlelight’s pulling out all the romantic heavyweights—Elton John, Celine Dion, and Elvis Presley—for the ultimate lovey-dovey setlist. With iconic tracks like “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”, “My Heart Will Go On”, and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, each song is drenched in dulcet tones and sugar-sweet notes. From reliving love stories like Rose and Jack’s to being swept away by The King’s simple, romantic ballad in the classical form, you’ll be powerless to resist passion’s irresistible charm.
Candlelight: Valentine Day Special
An hour of soul-stirring melodies awaits at Eric Ericsonhallen, perfect for all the mushy-hearted and doe-eyed music lovers. But don’t worry—even those with the biggest aversions to cheesy, sappy tunes will find something to love about the performance. It’s a unique night out and a chance to hear some of the most iconic and beloved songs reimagined for a string ensemble.
The string quartet will take to the candlelit stage to perform heartfelt classics like “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri, “La Vie En Rose” by Edith Piaf, and “City of Stars” from La La Land, among others. It’s a plan that beats chocolates, flowers, dinners, and definitely the dreaded “You said you didn’t want anything.”
So, whether you’re a hopeless romantic or just here for the string quartet, you’ve got 60 minutes of pure musical magic to look forward to. Plus, with doors opening 40 minutes before the performance, you’ll have plenty of time to settle in and soak up the atmosphere—maybe even grab a candlelit selfie or two. It’s like the ultimate musical binge—just with more romance and fewer snacks.
