Dearest Reader,
If the instrumental covers from Shondaland’s hit series on Netflix still echo in your mind, then Candlelight x Bridgerton in Glasgow promises to delight. A live string quartet will grace the Merchants House of Glasgow, delivering a performance that could easily find its place at one of Queen Charlotte’s grand soirées. After three seasons of drama and allure, let these sweet melodies carry you back to the elegance of the Regency era.
With so many gripping scenes to relive, wisteria-draped walls to picture, love stories to treasure, and misdeeds to scrutinize anew, each song will rekindle the myriad emotions felt by viewers as they followed the lives of high-society debutantes in this beloved period drama. Tickets for this enchanting evening are available now, so don’t miss the chance to experience it firsthand!
The Best of Bridgerton on Strings
If anyone is to unveil the divine details of this highly anticipated event, it is I.
From Anthony’s internal struggle between duty and desire as he chooses between Edwina and Kate, to Daphne’s clever efforts to shine in Her Majesty’s eyes, and Penelope Featherington’s secret, enduring love for Colin—there is much to unravel. Yet hearing Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything”, Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball”, Sia’s “Cheap Thrills”, and more, reimagined in classical form by a skilled ensemble, offers a uniquely stirring way to relive every unforgettable moment.
Surrounded by thousands of candles inside a historic venue in Glasgow, you might feel that a tiara and demure gown or a tailcoat fit for a gentleman’s club frequented by members of the ton would be the ideal attire. Fret not—no such dress code is required. Yet, with each classical note and the flicker of candlelight, you can easily imagine yourself as part of a society where calling hours and chaperoned courtships are simply the norm.
While Bridgerton may be set in 19th-century Mayfair, much about it suggests a delightful fusion of the old and the new. This blending has given rise to a one-of-a-kind soundtrack featuring contemporary music. Join Candlelight at the Merchants House of Glasgow for an eye-opening experience inspired by innovative thinking and the transformative power of music.
Feel free to loosen your lips about this unmissable event: spread the word that Candlelight x Bridgerton has arrived in Glasgow!
Yours truly,
Lady Whistledown
