Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA — A Candlelit Concert Experience in Alicante

Step into a world of nostalgia and enchantment at Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA — an intimate, candlelit concert held in the historic Archaeological Museum of Alicante (MARQ). This isn’t just a tribute show; it’s a refined musical journey where iconic anthems from two legendary British bands are reimagined for string quartet — blending theatrical energy with classical elegance.

Performed by Spain’s acclaimed Adre Quartet — known for their expressive interpretations and dynamic stage presence — the setlist includes timeless masterpieces like Bohemian Rhapsody, Don’t Stop Me Now, Dancing Queen, Waterloo, Mamma Mia, and We Are the Champions. Each piece is thoughtfully arranged to highlight both emotional depth and rhythmic vitality, all within a serene, candle-glow ambiance.

Held inside MARQ — a museum celebrated for its striking architecture, immersive exhibits, and exceptional acoustics — the event merges cultural heritage with contemporary live music. The 60-minute concert begins promptly, with doors opening one hour prior to allow guests to settle into the tranquil museum setting. Suitable for ages 8+, with minors under 16 required to attend with an adult. Fully wheelchair-accessible, and seating is assigned on arrival based on ticket type — ensuring comfort and intimacy for every guest.

Rediscover the magic of Queen and ABBA — not through amplifiers and pyrotechnics, but through strings, silence, and hundreds of flickering candles.
