Dear Readers,
I’m delighted to announce an exquisite event that will add to the city’s enchantment. Whether you’re a Bridgerton fan or not, this show promises to be a live musical experience that will captivate all music aficionados. Like the dramatic balls of Mayfair, Candlelight x Bridgerton features a string ensemble performing pop songs with a classical twist. The soundtrack highlights, which capture the spirit of Shondaland’s hit Netflix series, return as stunning melodies, but this time at Montreal’s Théâtre Rialto.
Every tense moment, questionable act and steamy Bridgerton adventure is accompanied by lush string arrangements, giving the series a period sound while infusing it with a progressive spark that resonates with modern audiences. Watch the sparks fly as talented musicians bring to life the notes that drive this period drama.
The best of Bridgerton on strings
Allow me to share with you all the captivating details of this rare gem.
Yes, a string quartet will transform anthemic, rousing and sometimes introspective hits into refined pieces, sure to delight any dashing bachelor or demonstrative debutante. But Candlelight x Bridgerton is not only a feast for the ears, it’s also a feast for the eyes. Thousands of candles illuminate the venue, further reinforcing the happy marriage of tradition and innovation.
From Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything” to Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy”, Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own” and Sia’s “Cheap Thrills “, the setlist takes the audience on a journey through several Bridgerton swirls. Simon and Daphne’s intense connection mirrors Billie Eilish’s genre-blurring sound, Anthony and Kate’s restrained passion is captured in Robyn’s resilient anthem, and Colin and Penelope’s carriage scene unfolds with Pitbull’s irresistible call to seize the night.
She may be hard to please, but I wouldn’t hesitate to say that Her Majesty Queen Charlotte herself would give her stamp of approval to this sensational candlelit evening.
And why keep this secret to yourself? Spread the word: a show inspired by the English Regency era is ready to captivate Montreal.
Yours sincerely
Lady Whistledown
