Hayao Miyazaki's Dreams by Candlelight

Hayao Miyazaki’s Dreams by Candlelight – a shimmering night of film music brought to life by the BigShow Orchestra, a virtuoso chamber ensemble. Step into a world where Miyazaki’s beloved cartoons transform from animated fairy tales into a living, breathing universe of wonder, philosophy, and tenderness. In this intimate Candlelight event, hundreds of soft candle flames wash the hall in warm, golden glow, turning the space into a sanctuary of music and memory. Feel the magic of iconic soundtracks as they swirl around you— from the playful “Ghostbusters” to the sweeping “Howl’s Moving Castle,” the haunting “Princess Mononoke,” the breath‑taking “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind,” the gentle “My Neighbor Totoro,” the soaring “Laputa Castle in the Sky” and many more. The chamber orchestra breathes new life into each score, rendering the familiar melodies with a tender, deep, and utterly fabulous new depth that touches the heart and awakens cherished memories. Join us for an evening of luminous enchantment, sincere emotion, and unforgettable moments that you’ll want to cherish forever. (Details & tickets)
