Take a Candlelit Seat on Bredgade
It's late afternoon on 14 February and the light is already going. You step off Bredgade, push through the doors of the Odd Fellow Palæet, and the room beyond is all flicker and hush: dozens of candles, a string quartet settling into position, the low murmur of a crowd that has dressed for the occasion. The concert begins at 4:30 PM and runs 60 minutes. If you want this, plan around it: doors open 40 minutes before the start, and there is no entry once the music begins.
The programme is built for the evening: Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, Debussy's Clair de Lune, Mascagni, Puccini (including Crisantemi and music from La Bohème and Gianni Schicchi), Massenet's Thaïs Méditation, Elgar's Salut d'Amour and Serenade for Strings, a Rachmaninoff Paganini Rhapsody variation, Liszt's Liebesträume No. 3, and Borodin's String Quartet No. 2 Notturno. Know what you're buying: this is a Fever-promoted candlelight tribute concert, not affiliated with the artists, and the performers are to be announced. Seating is first-come, first-served within zones, so arrive early enough to choose your spot.
Book the Details Before the Candles Are Lit
The practicalities are simple, and worth clearing well ahead of the date.
- Venue: Odd Fellow Palæet, Bredgade 28, 1260 København K — central enough to walk to dinner afterwards.
- Tickets: from DKK 216. Student tickets require student ID.
- Age: 8+, with under-16s accompanied by an adult.
- Access: the venue is wheelchair accessible.
- Groups: bookings for 30 or more are available, and so are private concerts if you'd rather arrange the evening on your own terms.
Build the Rest of the Evening Around the Music
The concert's 60-minute span and strict start time give your evening a shape. Book a table nearby for after the final note, and let the programme set the tone: the Elgar and Liszt are the romantic heart of it, the Puccini and Mascagni the operatic flourish. Because seating is first-come, first-served within zones, treat the doors-open window as part of the plan rather than an afterthought — arrive with time to settle, and leave the rush outside on Bredgade.
If you're travelling as a pair with different tastes, the programme is broad enough to carry both: orchestral overture, piano miniature, string quartet movement, opera. Sixty minutes, no interval, no latecomers — it's a compact, focused way to mark the day.
Make It a Group Affair
Valentine's Day doesn't have to mean a table for two. With group bookings available for parties of 30 or more, and private concerts on offer, you can bring a circle of friends, a club or a family gathering to the same candlelit room. The age policy — 8 and up, under-16s with an adult — makes it workable for older children too, and the accessible venue removes one more reason to leave someone out.
Start With the Calendar
The date is fixed: 14 February 2027, 4:30 PM. Tickets start at DKK 216, and the room is first-come, first-served within zones — so the earlier you book, the calmer your arrival. Set the date, choose your zone, and plan the rest of the evening around a 60-minute concert that ends while the city is still out. Then all that's left is Bredgade, the candles, and the opening bars.
