Secure your tickets now and experience the magic that makes Halloween in Greater Sudbury truly unforgettable.
Candlelight: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics
Danny Elfman’s genius lies in his ability to make the macabre feel playful, a talent perfectly displayed in his Beetlejuice theme that captures the film’s manic energy. This piece joins Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain and Parker’s Ghostbusters theme in celebrating the lighter side of supernatural encounters.
The four-piece ensemble brings sophisticated humor to these crowd-pleasing pieces. Elfman’s orchestral chaos gets concentrated through four instruments while Mussorgsky’s supernatural gathering becomes more intimate. Ghostbusters’ infectious energy gains classical treatment through the piercing cry of violins and dark undertones of cello, all enhanced by amber illumination that makes every melody feel both familiar and mysteriously transformed.
Candlelight Halloween at Place des Arts du Grand Sudbury
The soaring ceilings and modern design of Place des Arts du Grand Sudbury are transformed by the glow of thousands of candles, casting mysterious shadows and creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and subtly spooky. Arriving 30-45 minutes before the 60-minute concert allows guests to fully soak in the warm, flickering light that heightens every note performed by the string quartet.
The haunting strains of Funeral March of a Marionette by Charles Gounod, The Addams Family (Theme) by Vic Mizzy, and In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg take on a new dimension in this enchanting setting. With tickets in high demand, planning early ensures you don’t miss one of Greater Sudbury’s most magical Halloween experience.
