The shadows stretch across the streets of Lisbon and, between the crackling of candles and the echo of the wind, the city is preparing for unforgettable nights. The Candlelight Halloween concerts arrive shrouded in mystery, bringing to life chilling soundtracks that make your heart flutter. A magical and dark Halloween celebration that promises to enchant as much as it frightens…
Candlelight: Halloween
There are songs that can open portals to other dimensions. Just one chord and you find yourself in a dimly lit corridor, with doors creaking on their own and a chill running down the back of your neck. It’s like that with “Tubular Bells“, immortalized in The Exorcist, or Michael Jackson’s “Thriller“, whose unmistakable beat and whispering voices transform the atmosphere into a spectacle of tension and fascination.
And how can we forget “The Addams Family“, with its iconic finger snapping and macabre charm, between fun and sinister? They all sound familiar, but they take on new life when they echo from a string quartet surrounded by a sea of sails. At that moment, the music takes on body, the tension grows and you can almost feel the ghosts lurking in the air, an atmosphere that chills even the most skeptical.
Candlelight Halloween in Lisbon
For 60 minutes, the Royal Treasure Museum dresses up in mystery and fantasy, where mischief and chills intertwine in a magical and subtly dark setting. In the light of thousands of candles, an almost supernatural aura rises up, inviting you to experience the creepiest night of the year in style.
A string quartet intensifies the spell with spine-chilling interpretations, from Charles Gounod’s “Funeral March for a Marionette” to Shostakovich’s sombre “String Quartet No. 8″, as well as iconic Halloween tracks such as “Beetlejuice ” and the medley from “Jack’s Strange World”. Only the most fearless will dare to cross this enchanted night.
