About this event

The Candlelight series lands at the James Fairfax Theatre inside the National Gallery of Australia, with the Phoenix Collective playing a candlelit room in the heart of Canberra.

This is a tribute night, not the real thing — no ABBA or Queen here. Expect a string-led programme that swings between the two catalogues: Dancing Queen, SOS and Waterloo alongside Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen and We Are the Champions.

Runs about 60 minutes, doors 30 minutes before, and no entry once it kicks off. Seating is assigned by zone on a first-come basis.
