Candlelight: The Wizard of Oz – A classical concert
Music is at the heart of The Wizard of Oz – it lends its magic to many of the most iconic movie scenes. The songs not only help to tell the story, they also give us an insight into the dreams and desires of the characters. With songs like “If I Only Had a Brain”, we learn what Dorothy’s new friends wish for from the bottom of their hearts – and get a few laughs along the way.
This season, Candlelight rolls out the emerald green carpet and invites you to a 60-minute concert celebrating the unforgettable soundtrack from the classic movie.
