Discover live music in historic churches and palaces, for an authentic and atmospheric experience
Venice needs no grand introduction. All it takes is an evening, soft lighting and the right silence to turn an ordinary moment into a lasting memory. Candlelight Concerts are born from this very idea: candlelit concerts held in historic churches and palaces, where music becomes experience, atmosphere and emotional connection.
Choosing a candlelight concert means experiencing the city more deeply, away from haste and closer to genuine emotions. It is an invitation to listen, slow down and share a special moment together.
When light guides emotion
At candlelight concerts, every detail is designed to create an intimate and refined atmosphere. Candles are not merely decorative elements, but the true heart of the experience: they shape the space, warm the ambiance and accompany the music. Live performances flow naturally, never overpowering, leaving room for personal sensations.
You are not simply attending a concert, but entering a different dimension made of light, sound and emotion. A form of listening that draws you in and encourages you to live the moment without distractions.
The most moving candlelight concerts
The Candlelight Concerts calendar in Venice is varied and curated to offer different experiences, all united by a strong emotional intensity. Some programs, in particular, are perfectly suited to a shared romantic experience.

Venice in the evening becomes part of the experience
Attending a candlelight concert also means experiencing Venice at its most enchanting. In the evening, the city changes its tone: streets grow quieter, footsteps echo on the water and lights reflect on the canals. Reaching the concert venue becomes a slow, pleasant walk that prepares you for the music.
The city is not just a backdrop, but an essential part of the experience, accompanying every moment with subtle elegance.
A memory that stays with you
Candlelight Concerts are not events to rush through. They are experiences that enrich your stay and leave a lasting impression. Music listened to together, the warm glow of candles, the silence after the final note: simple details that become deeply memorable.
These are the moments that naturally return once you are home, forever linked to Venice and the emotions you experienced.
Why choose a Candlelight concert during your stay
These concerts are designed even for those who do not usually listen to classical music. The program alternates famous film scores with contemporary reinterpretations, creating an engaging and accessible experience from the very first notes. With a duration of around 60 minutes, they fit easily into a Venetian evening, perhaps after a stroll through the narrow streets or before a romantic dinner. The intimate atmosphere created by candlelight and live music turns the concert into a special moment to be shared and remembered as one of the most evocative highlights of your stay. Returning afterwards to the Arcadia Boutique Hotel, where you can relax in our elegant and intimate spaces, extends that feeling of calm and connection, making your Venetian experience truly complete.
