Candlelight: Tribute to Adele
Rumor has it, there is a magical Candlelight tribute to Adele about to arrive in town. The English singer-songwriter is known for her booming voice and warm timbre but is particularly popular among global audiences due to her catchy and heartfelt songs. They usually speak of love, loss, heartache and longing so we can all relate. Now, you can hear her moving hits in a new light, recreated by a string quartet among a sea of candles. Head to the Wealthy Theatre this winter to catch “When We Were Young”, “Set Fire to the Rain”, “Easy On Me”, and “Rolling in the Deep”, among others.
