Dearest Gentle Reader,
It has come to my astute attention that a certain Candlelight program is making its Cincinnati debut just as the season begins to shed its winter colors. Although you are all used to more scandal-centered content, I simply could not overlook this concert as it is not just any ordinary occasion. Did you swoon over the orchestral reworkings of contemporary songs from our beloved Bridgerton? Well, Candlelight x Bridgerton in Cincinnati presents musical highlights from each season.
Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine district may not be Regency-era Mayfair, but its 19th-century brick buildings certainly lend an aesthetic hand. Now that tickets are on sale, you can find your seat at the century-old Memorial Hall where even the most risqué scenes in Bridgerton may be reimagined while listening to StringSource String Quartet play pieces from the television series.
The Best of Bridgerton on Strings
If anyone shall reveal the full circumstances of this concert, it is I.
Expect to find thousands of candles illuminating the treasured performing arts theater and for the words “captivating” and “mesmerizing” to be among the adjectives required to describe the experience. From Sia’s lively “Cheap Thrills” to Miley Cyrus’ commanding “Wrecking Ball”, the setlist covers songs likely to be the classical cover favorites among most viewers.
Providing a perfectly sophisticated evening, I daresay, dear reader, the Candlelight concert promises plenty of inspiring moments encouraging you to channel your inner member of the ton. Modern elements of music are still present, but they take on a gentrified life in the classical form. Embrace the scintillating and escapist side of Bridgerton. Pretend to be a dutiful duchess, dashing viscount, the rebellious Eloise, or a reputation-obsessed mother for a spell.
Even Her Majesty would not turn her nose up at the elegant soirée. Prepare for something truly spectacular to unfold with a side of Tiffany chandeliers, stenciled murals, and marble staircases at Memorial Hall.
Spread the word far and wide: Candlelight x Bridgerton has arrived in Cincinnati.
Yours truly,
Lady Whistledown
