About this event

The Candlelight series lands at the James Fairfax Theatre inside the National Gallery of Australia for a Halloween-themed run, with the room lit by candles for the occasion.

A string quartet from Canberra's Phoenix Collective works through an hour of spooky-season fare: Thriller, the Tubular Bells theme from The Exorcist, Danse Macabre, the Stranger Things and Beetlejuice themes, and a Nightmare Before Christmas medley among them.

Worth knowing: this is an arranged tribute programme, not the original artists. Doors 30 minutes before, and late arrivals aren't let in.
