Abba

The Círculo de Bellas Artes hosts an ABBA tribute concert in a Candlelight format featuring pop, pop rock and glam rock music.

The ABBA project, formed in Stockholm in 2016, presents a stage repertoire centred on the Swedish pop catalogue that popularised the genre for decades. With influences from pop rock and glam rock, the ensemble transfers the vocal melodies and instrumental arrangements of the original group to an acoustic or chamber concert format under candlelight.

In this live performance, the proposal offers a calm reading of well-known songs, adapted for a string quartet or other classical instrumental formations. The usual duration of a concert in this series is around one hour, without an intermission, with a linear progression of the repertoire planned for the tour.

Audiences attending these sessions look to hear instrumental versions in a specific architectural setting such as the Círculo de Bellas Artes. The layout of the room, with seats arranged around the musicians, determines the acoustics and visibility from the different areas of the space during the performance.
