The city has no shortage of cultural landmarks, but this season’s Candlelight venues in Stockholm provide an especially atmospheric way to listen in. Inside Bio Skandia, a 1920s cinema with Swedish Grace architecture and original decorative details, cinematic surroundings meet the warm glow of thousands of candles. Over on Skeppsholmen, Eric Ericsonhallen lets strings and piano pieces ring out with clarity beneath soaring neoclassical arches. At Berns Salonger in Berzelii Park, Baroque-style chandeliers and historic glamour add yet another mood to the mix — a variety that makes these shows definitely worth it.
