Candlelight Concerts, the global series of intimate, multi-sensory live music experiences, has partnered with the historic Royal Opera House in Mumbai to launch their inaugural series at the Royal Opera House on August 30.

Produced by Live Your City, a brand under the American company Fever Labs Inc., the global live-entertainment discovery platform, Candlelight Concerts democratises access to classical music. The one-of-a-kind format brings live performances to intimate settings illuminated by thousands of candles, creating a truly immersive and captivating experience.

The inaugural programme at the Royal Opera House in Mumbai will feature 'A Tribute to Frank Sinatra', with his timeless classics performed by a homegrown jazz band. It will be followed by 'From Mozart to Chopin' on September 27. The Western Classical programme will feature a talented local pianist, transporting audiences back to the golden age of music.

It is the first time Candlelight Concerts will be held in a heritage venue in the country, transporting the audience back in time and adding a layer of historical significance to the experience.
