Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA is a live, multi-sensory musical performance featuring classical interpretations of iconic pop and rock songs in a candlelit setting. If you plan to go, note that the minimum age for entry is eight years old, and anyone under sixteen must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets start at $31.10, with seating assigned on a first-come, first-served basis within your purchased zone, so you will want to arrive when doors open at 7:00 PM to secure the best view. Street parking is available around the Five Points neighborhood, but spots fill up quickly, so allow extra time to park before the 7:45 PM start. This concert makes a wonderful weekend outing because it offers a sophisticated yet accessible musical experience right in the heart of Raleigh. The familiar setlist of radio hits keeps the performance lively, making it an easy introduction to instrumental music for older children.
