The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight

  • Music
  • Entertainment

The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight is heading to Australia for the very first time. After entertaining over 700,000 fans across the UK, USA and Europe, this unforgettable live show now arrives in Melbourne.

A 13-piece chamber ensemble performs iconic rock and metal anthems in a spectacle like no other. Surrounded by hundreds of candles, world-class instrumentalists and vocalists reimagine music by Metallica, AC/DC, Rage Against The Machine, My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, System of a Down, Guns N’ Roses, Evanescence, Aerosmith, The Cranberries and more.

Delicate strings meet distorted riffs. Classical finesse meets full-throttle rock. This is orchestral music, but not as you know it.
