Vivaldi’s Four Seasons
Portraying spring, summer, autumn and winter, Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” describe landscapes and scenes, evoke feelings and emotions, and the seasons are rendered in such imaginative detail they bring forth memories without the need for words.
Autumn rises with revelry and breaks with the sound of dogs before winter blows its icy chill across the land and teeth chatter. Spring arrives with the trill of birds and a feast to welcome the warmer weather while summer is suffocating heat followed by a refreshing breeze.
No matter how many times you have heard this masterpiece before, it never tires and always has the capacity to astound. And it surely will at the Hobart Town Hall, home to special occasions and events since 1866.
Move through the seasons in just one night thanks to Vivaldi and Candlelight.
Best of Hans Zimmer
Music in a movie glues the characters to the plot. It pulls us in and has us feeling all the feels: the highs become more ecstatic, the lows more emotional and the drama becomes all too much. It is the rhythm and it is the flow. Music is the beating pulse and award-winning film composer Hans Zimmer has said, “a great soundtrack is all about communicating with the audience.”
The setlist for Candlelight: Best of Hans Zimmer includes songs from movies such as Inception, The Dark Knight, The Lion King and Gladiator. Audiences will be able to relive memorable on-screen moments like the corn-field chase in Interstellar and Zooster’s Breakout in Madagascar while Pirates of the Caribbean, Wonder Woman and Man of Steel all make appearances with medleys on Friday 25 November.
Relive your favourite movie scenes through music, candles and a string quartet.
Candlelight invites everyone to relive the greatest works of music, immerse themselves in flickering light and stunning sound, and elevate the musical experience to new, dreamy heights. With string quartets, piano solos, duos or musical trios taking to stage, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at the Hobart Town Hall is just the beginning of Candlelight in Tasmania.
Guests have said that the evenings are “a creative, enchanting, and new concert experience” and that “the performers were fantastic!” Tickets from $36.
