Candlelight: Favorite Anime Themes

Candlelight: Favorite Anime Themes comes to the Granada Theater on Saturday, January 23, 2027, at 8:45 PM. It's a one-hour concert with no intermission, and the whole thing is played by a string quartet. The setup is the Candlelight signature: the musicians perform surrounded by thousands of candles, so the room is lit by that warm glow rather than house lights. The program focuses on anime themes reimagined for strings, and while the specific setlist isn't confirmed for this edition, it'll be the familiar melodies from across the medium.

The venue is the Granada Theater at 3022 Hennepin Ave in Uptown Minneapolis. It was a silent film theater back in the 1920s and still has its Spanish-Revival architecture, which gives the night a bit more character than a standard black-box stage. Doors open 65 minutes before the start, and late entry isn't permitted, so you'll want to be in your seat before 8:45 PM.

There are a few practical things to keep in mind. No food is served inside the theater, though drinks are available. If you're looking for a meal, there's pre- and post-show dining at the Uptown Lobby nearby. The performance is recommended for ages 8 and up, and anyone under 16 needs to be accompanied by an adult. One free caretaker pass is available. Tickets start at $45.36, and there are no refunds unless you bought a flexible cancellation ticket.
