Dearest Reader,
After three seasons of high-society parties, pastel colors, statement jewelry, and corsets, Bridgerton has proven itself to be a cultural phenomenon. Unsurprisingly, one of its most popular elements has been the classical renditions of modern-day hits that make up much of its soundtrack. So, if you count yourself among the many viewers hungry for more string music and romantic lighting, Candlelight x Bridgerton is a soirée in Dubai to mark on your calendar.
Tickets are on sale for this one-of-a-kind event. Don’t miss the chance to get a much-needed dose of instrumental covers at Majlis Al Salam Ballroom in Mina A’Salam, Madinat Jumeirah—a perfect venue for a touch of opulence. With pop-classical hybrids that have taken off since Bridgerton’s 2020 debut, hearing “Give Me Everything” and “Wrecking Ball” on strings has never sounded better.
The Best of Bridgerton on Strings
Leave it to the expert (it is I) to reveal every detail about Candlelight’s Bridgerton-inspired performance in Dubai.
There is nothing that a Mayfair debutante or bachelor—well, in most cases anyway—prefers more than a lavish ball or tea party. There seems to be an event almost every day on the schedule for these bright-eyed members of the ton. Now is your chance to add something extraordinary to your plans in the city, an experience that will effortlessly draw you back into an era of opera-length gloves, gold-trimmed frames, and names inscribed on dance cards.
Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” is a modern-day hit, also known for encapsulating Simon’s jealousy. Meanwhile, Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own” tells a bittersweet story that perfectly complements Anthony’s, shall we say, love triangle. All of this and more will resurface as powerful emotions while a string quartet performs some of the most popular songs with a classical twist, all in the glow of thousands of candles.
Shondaland’s hit series on Netflix is a captivating blend of scandal and romance, offering a fresh take on history. By infusing modern themes and pacing into its historical setting, the show has successfully hooked today’s young audiences, drawing them into its richly woven narrative. Experience its magic come to life in a new form at a candlelit concert at Majlis Al Salam Ballroom.
I consider keeping secrets to be an odious pastime, so take the liberty to spread the word far and wide: Candlelight x Bridgerton is in Dubai!
Yours truly,
