The Candlelight concert is just around the corner and you’re curious about what to expect? Don’t worry, we have the perfect guide for you! Even if the preparation is minimal, it can’t hurt to take a closer look at the location and check the dress code. That way, nothing can go wrong and you can enjoy the sparkling event to the full!
1. Plan your journey
Left too late and only caught red lights or, even worse, left on time but exactly when the traffic jam is at its worst? We know this problem all too well, especially in the busy capital. Fortunately, the magical Candlelight concerts usually take place at central city landmarks or are easily accessible by public transport. Nevertheless, it is advisable to plan enough time and arrive around 30 to 45 minutes before the start of the performance – then the doors to the concert hall will open and you will have enough time to settle in.
2. What awaits you on arrival
In addition to the opportunity to grab a drink and enjoy the friendly service that will guide you to your seat, there is a very special atmosphere at every Candlelight concert: a sea of thousands of candles that bathes the hall in warm light and surrounds the musicians in sparkling lights. This magical backdrop immediately puts you in a cozy mood and prepares you perfectly for the upcoming musical performance. And don’t worry – for safety reasons, these are flameless LED candles, so you can sit back and relax!
3. Is there a dress code?
Formal attire is often associated with traditional concerts, but at Candlelight concerts everything is more relaxed! Whether it’s casual jeans and a T-shirt or a more elegant outfit – dress according to your taste. The main thing is that you feel comfortable and ready to enjoy the magical atmosphere!
4. More about the locations
A number of important landmarks in the city are among Candlelight’s event locations. From the industrial-modern Malzfabrik to the neo-Gothic Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche – at Candlelight you can discover different places in Berlin, all fascinating and unique at the same time. So get ready not only to enjoy a musical experience, but also to do a little sightseeing!
5. Some unwritten rules
In order to enjoy the Candlelight experience in its pure form, you are asked to refrain from taking photos and videos. It is best to put your cell phones on silent so that the dreamlike sounds of the instruments remain undisturbed. Even if you would like to sing along loudly to some of the rousing melodies – we understand that only too well – you should still keep quiet so as not to disturb others. All this is to give the audience the best possible experience!
So, now that you have the most important information and are well prepared for your upcoming Candlelight concert, nothing stands in the way of a wonderful candlelit evening. Be prepared to want to experience even more of these magical performances afterwards. Your companion will certainly not be left untouched either – which is why a candlelight gift voucher wouldn’t be a bad surprise at all, would it?
