We haven’t really stopped imagining; we’ve just changed the way we do it. Those stories that filled our afternoons as children—with improbable adventures, distant worlds, and heroic characters—haven’t disappeared: they’ve turned into memories that still stay with us today. As we grew up, we left behind costumes and games, but not our ability to be moved and to find something familiar even in the most fantastical stories. That’s where the child within us still lives: in the Disney classics.

In the heart of Milan, for a few unmissable evenings, the historic Auditorium San Fedele will be transformed into an enchanted portal thanks to Candlelight and its thousands of candles. As soon as they cross the threshold, the audience will be transported to sparkling castles, mysterious deserts, and distant worlds populated by fairies and legendary creatures. Classical music will guide this journey: a talented string quartet will breathe new life into the most beloved stories of all time, from Lady and the Tramp to Beauty and the Beast.
Candlelight x Disney at the Auditorium San Fedele: the transformation of a timeless venue
The site that now housesthe San Fedele Auditorium, in the heart of Milan, traces its roots back to the 16th century, when it was built as part of the Jesuit complex next to the Church of San Fedele. Over the centuries, this place has undergone profound transformations: from a religious and cultural center to the Napoleonic suppressions, and finally to the damage sustained during the bombings of World War II.
Rebuilt and reimagined after the war, it has become a landmark of contemporary culture, hosting music and art within its walls. For “Candlelight: Disney Love Songs,” a special tribute to the songs from the soundtracks of our childhood, the Auditorium is once again transformed into an enchanted place where imagination knows no bounds: whether it’s a lavish palace or a pirate ship, it’s up to the audience and the music to decide.
Candlelight: Disney Love Songs… What to Expect?
As children, all it took was a magic wand or a plastic sword to leave our apartment in Milan and find ourselves in a palace lit by talking chandeliers or in the ancient Greece of Hercules. Today, all it takes is a pair of headphones—capable of blocking out the city’s noise—to open the door to distant worlds. With *Candlelight: Disney Love Songs*, Disney and Candlelight join forces to offer those who have never stopped dreaming an evening suspended between nostalgia and romance—to be shared with a special someone or a childhood friend.
Bathed in the light of thousands of candles, the Auditorium becomes an intimate space where you can let yourself be guided by the music. Songs like “Il Mondo è Mio,” “Bella notte,” and“ , Baciala” take on new life in a refined reinterpretation for string quartet, capable of bringing back, note after note, the most authentic emotions.
