The Wizard of Oz was groundbreaking cinema in countless ways — from its dazzling transition from black-and-white to vibrant Technicolor, to its unforgettable soundtrack filled with songs that have been loved across generations. Now, experience the music like never before — through classical compositions — at NH Johannesburg Sandton.
Dorothy and her beloved Toto’s journey through the Land of Oz, using courage, heart, and imagination to guide the way, is a story as timeless and enchanting today as it was nearly a century ago. And while we may be a long way from Kansas, the magic of the Land of Oz has never been closer. This season, Johannesburg is about to be transported to a land of wonder, where ruby slippers sparkle and poppy fields twirl in a musical tribute to The Wizard of Oz.
Candlelight: The Wizard of Oz – A Classical Concert
Few films’ soundtracks are as instantly recognizable as The Wizard of Oz, and its music is at the very heart of its magic. Dorothy’s first steps into the Land of Oz, the Scarecrow’s wish for a brain, and the Tin Man’s longing for a heart — all are brought vividly to life through the score, as much as through the script. Even now, decades later, audiences still find themselves humming along, imagining fields of swaying poppies and the Tin Man glistening in the sunlight. That enduring enchantment is the true charm of the Land of Oz.
This season, Candlelight is rolling out the emerald carpet to invite you to a 60-minute concert celebrating the Land of Oz’s most beloved songs. Under the warm glow of thousands of flickering candles, a string ensemble will bring classics like “Over the Rainbow” and “We’re Off to See the Wizard” to life — a spectacle almost as magical as Dorothy’s journey through the Land of Oz itself. Bring your imagination, your sense of wonder, and perhaps a wish for a brain, a heart, or a little courage — this is a musical adventure through The Wizard of Oz like you’ve never experienced before.
Relive the movie’s iconic songs that have stood the test of time at Candlelight: The Wizard of Oz – A Classical Concert. Candlelight and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences have officially partnered up to invite you to bring The Wizard of Oz – A Classical Concert to Johannesburg.
