Disney stories have been with us for a long time: Simba and Nala under the starry sky, Aladdin and Jasmine high above Agrabah, or Carl and Ellie’s life together in unforgettable moments. Thanks in part to their timeless music, these scenes are an integral part of our pop culture. Now , Candlelight: Disney Love Songs brings these very melodies to Berlin. A talented string quartet will perform your favorite soundtracks, surrounded by thousands of candles.
From “The Lion King” to “Frozen”: A setlist that will make your hearts race
Look forward to a 60-minute concert program that brings Disney moments to life in a classical setting. Melodies like “Can This Really Be Love” from *The Lion King* bring Simba and Nala to life under the starry sky, while “A Dream Come True” from *Aladdin* translates Jasmine’s longing for freedom and adventure into the sounds of the strings. The program also features songs from films such as Frozen, Tangled, Encanto, Up, High School Musical, and more. Classical instruments lend each piece a special emotional depth and create an intimate concert experience.
Historic Huguenot setting: The French Cathedral as a stunning stage for grand film music
The historic setting of the French Cathedral on Gendarmenmarkt is ideal for an evening by candlelight. The Friedrichstadtkirche was built in the early 18th century for the Huguenots, while the striking domed tower was later constructed as a counterpart to the German Cathedral. It is precisely this blend of impressive church architecture, Berlin history, and a striking location that makes the venue an atmospheric stage for music that is itself steeped in memories.
