Did you know that Princess Anna has deep roots in the Capitale-Nationale? In the Quebec version of *Frozen*, Quebec City-born artist Véronique Claveau lends her voice—both speaking and singing—to the character and to the unforgettable “L’amour est un cadeau.” It’s a beautiful full circle, as the Candlelight: Disney Love Songs concert is coming to Quebec City to revisit these classics by candlelight. For Montrealers looking for a magical weekend getaway, this is the perfect excuse.
Candlelight: Disney Love Songs in Quebec City
11 December 2026 16:30
Église Saint-Dominique
Fifteen love songs, from 1937 to 2021
Presented under license from Disney Concerts, Candlelight: Disney Love Songs entrusts the iconic repertoire of Disney and Pixar to the expert hands of a string quartet. For one hour, without lyrics and bathed in the flickering glow of thousands of candles, two violins, a viola, and a cello bring a whole new dimension to the melodies of our childhood.
The program spans nearly a century of cinema. It goes back to the very beginning with “Some Day My Prince Will Come” (Snow White), before diving into the golden age of the ’90s: “A Whole New World” (Aladdin), “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” (The Lion King), and “Kiss the Girl” (The Little Mermaid).
Newer generations aren’t left out, with songs from *Tangled*, *Coco*, and *Encanto*. Not to mention the poignant melody of “Married Life” (*Up*)… be sure to bring tissues.
Saint-Dominique Church, on the Grande Allée in Quebec City
In the Montcalm neighborhood, Saint-Dominique Church has watched over the Grande Allée for nearly a century. Built of white granite in the late 1920s for the Dominican community, its English Gothic-inspired architecture sets it apart from many Catholic churches in Quebec, with an interior full of warmth and elegance; it was designated a heritage monument in 2014.
But it’s inside that it holds its true treasure. Lauréat Vallière’s carved woodwork features nearly 500 figures, and all around, some forty stained-glass windows in deep hues filter the daylight and, come evening, enhance the cozy ambiance created by the candles. The venue’s natural acoustics and the elegance of its materials make it a setting tailor-made for the resonance of stringed instruments.
