Auckland weather at Christmas doesn’t always put us in a very festive mood and watching films like Home Alone and Love Actually, where we see houses covered in white snow, doesn’t help either. This holiday season, there’s no need to be a Scrooge though because Candlelight has got the perfect gift for you. Bringing magical tributes to iconic holiday songs and compositions, the city will be immersed in joyful melodies that are near and dear to our hearts.
These performances are set to take place at the historic Holy Trinity Cathedral, where you can enjoy captivating performances by a string quartet of timeless Tchaikovsky ballets. As these soul-stirring melodies echo through the storied nave, dancers Amelia Chandulal-Mackay, Ariah Mandeno, Hilary An-Roddie and Koharu Iino will gracefully glide and pirouette across the stage. It’s promising to be a wonderful spectacle you won’t want to miss.
