Spending the scariest night of the year in Rome, among ancient moonlit ruins and gloomy alleys, certainly has its charms. To complete the scary atmosphere of the evening, you need an exceptional soundtrack. Candlelight Halloween in Rome brings the notes of the creepiest movies ever to the walls of centuries-old theaters and gloomy mansions, lit by thousands of candles. In this spooky atmosphere, Roman audiences will have a spooky evening.
Candlelight: the great Halloween classics.
Charles Gounod’s Funeral March of a Marionette, Modest Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain and John Carpenter’s unmistakable Halloween Theme will drag guests into a universe where fear reigns supreme. With its interpretation of these famous melodies, a string quartet unveils new nuances of classical music and a predisposition for string instruments to amaze but also chill.
In the fieble light of thousands of flickering candles, the musicians bring to life a frighteningly astonishing show, marked by arias that combine shrill and deep notes. Against this sinister backdrop, the legendary Halloween tunes become surprisingly intimate.
