What is a Candlelight concert like?

Candlelight presents music spanning pop, film scores and classical repertoire, usually performed by a string quartet in a room illuminated by flameless LED candles. Palácio Estoril sessions last about 60 minutes.

Doors open before the performance and late arrivals may not be admitted. Fever recommends arriving at least 30 minutes early. Artist names identify tribute programmes: the named artists do not appear in person.

Keep in mind: The organiser may change programmes, performers, sessions and prices; Fever’s ticket details for your selected session take precedence.

Queen selections include “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “I Want to Break Free”, “Don’t Stop Me Now”, “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions”; ABBA favourites include “Dancing Queen”, “SOS”, “Money, Money, Money”, “Waterloo”, “Super Trouper” and “Mamma Mia”.
