Whether it’s a swift flutter of butterflies in the stomach or the comfort of a lifelong embrace, love is a magnetic force that draws souls together. It’s an unspoken language that speaks volumes, able to transform ordinary moments into extraordinary memories, igniting sparks of joy, tenderness and resilience. Although we always find ourselves in the pursuit of love, on Valentine’s Day we choose to devote a special day to love and affection and show gratitude towards partners, family members, friends or anyone dear. With this special celebration drawing closer, the Candlelight Valentine’s Day special presents a magical tribute that is sure to steal your hearts.
Adams Avenue Theater will be enveloped in the warm glow of thousands of candles that creates a sense of coziness and tranquility, allowing you to snuggle next to your loved ones. You’ll hear timeless romantic melodies like “As Time Goes By” from Casablanca, Felix Mendelssohn pieces written for a string quartet and more recent hits, such as “Clarity” by Zedd and “Love Story” by Taylor Swift. This V-Day special is gearing up to be the ultimate amorous experience for San Diegans and you won’t want to miss it!
Valentine’s Day Special ft. “Romeo and Juliet” and More
The magical Candlelight concert series is recreating some of the most iconic ballads that made us daydream the first time we heard them. For instance, “Love Theme” by Nino Rota, featured in Romeo and Juliet (1968), emphasizes the purity and intensity of love. It made us fall head over heels for the characters even more, whose charisma and emotional depth resonate with us long after the credits are rolled.
Besides this cinema classic, the talented musicians of Range Ensemble will take on other timeless works by Beethoven, Brahms and Mendelssohn, and even give a classical spin on modern-day love songs in the likes of “Love Story” and “Clarity”. Head to the Adams Avenue Theater this Valentine’s Day and toast to love with a heartwarming tribute by candlelight.
