Dearest Reader,
Since December 2020, a widespread infatuation has developed. The subject? A television series set in the gentrified Regency Era. Three scandalous seasons later, you may renew your Bridgerton obsession with a Candlelight concert. Feel like a bona fide member of the dear ton as a string ensemble performs familiar pieces from the show inside the magnificent Manchester Cathedral.
Without classical covers of contemporary music, one might not look at a Bridgerton ball in the same light, nor would the second season’s turbulent love story reach such a climactic moment without “Wrecking Ball” and its desire to break down walls. So, let us revisit highlights of Bridgerton’s soundtrack that play on in our minds at a Candlelight concert embodying the elegance of any high society soirée.
Candlelight: Best of Bridgerton on Strings
You may have heard whisperings divulging what to expect from this welcome union but you would be mistaken to believe idle talk over my printed voice. Shall we dive into every sparkling detail?
Hearing Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” performed by a string quartet will make you feel like an invincible guest arriving at the Innovations Ball, and Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything” will certainly stir up the same heat felt between our wallflower and dashing Bridgerton boy. And “Dancing on My Own” is surely a pass for giving in to a harmless pretence and imagining yourself trying to tame a strong-willed spinster on the dance floor.
Listen to these songs and more, carrying you off to fictional places whilst sitting surrounded by thousands of flickering candles. Tightened strings will be loosened by modern notes as you become enraptured by the very thing that ties Candlelight and Bridgerton together—the fusion of classical and contemporary music. Quite a rare jewel, indeed!
To encounter a concert is one thing, but to discover one with a classical twist is something entirely apart.
Undoubtedly, Candlelight x Bridgerton is coming with a romantic luster that waits for no one.
Yours truly,
Lady Whistledown
