Candlelight: The Wizard of Oz – a concert of classical music
Music really is at the heart of The Wizard of Oz: it is what gives some of its most iconic scenes a sense of wonder. Just think of those dreamy moments in the poppy fields or Dorothy’s farewell to her homeland as they all sing “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” in chorus. The songs not only help guide the story but also give us a glimpse into the characters’ lives. Songs such as “If I Only Had A Brain” make us both excited and entertained as we enjoy the characters’ long journey.
