Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA
1807 South Allport St Chicago
Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA is a vibrant, candlelit concert that pits two legendary hit factories against each other—reimagined in rich, cinematic string arrangements that make familiar choruses feel brand new. Performed live by the Metropolis String Quartet, the program races from ABBA’s glossy pop euphoria (“Dancing Queen,” “SOS,” “Money, Money, Money,” “Voulez Vous,” “Waterloo,” “Super Trouper,” “Mamma Mia,” “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!”) to Queen’s larger-than-life rock drama (“Bohemian Rhapsody,” “I Want to Break Free,” “Killer Queen,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “We Will Rock You,” “We Are the Champions”), creating an immersive hour of sing-along energy, soaring melodies, and pure joy under the warm glow of candlelight.
