Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA Tribute

Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA Tribute at Scottish Rite Performing Arts Center

Bohemian Rhapsody and Dancing Queen make unlikely partners until a string quartet brings them together. That's the pitch of Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA Tribute, coming to Scottish Rite Performing Arts Center in Indianapolis on January 15, 2027. It's a different way to hear songs you already know by heart.

Here's the twist. Instead of a rock band or a pop stage show, you get a string quartet, presented by Listeso. Queen's rock-driven songwriting meets ABBA's pop catalog, and the program sets them side by side. Announced repertoire includes Bohemian Rhapsody, Dancing Queen, Waterloo and Don't Stop Me Now. Hearing those melodies carried by strings may make you notice them in a whole new way. This is a live tribute and interpretation, not an appearance by the original artists, and the program may change.

Then there's the setting. The production uses a candle-style glowing visual design, built to give the music an intimate look. The show runs about sixty minutes, and it begins at 8:45 PM, so it fits neatly into a Friday night out. Bring a date, a friend, or the family member who knows every word to both bands. You'll share a night that feels special without taking over your whole evening. Don't just stream these songs again. Hear them live in Indianapolis, grab your seats for Queen vs. ABBA by candlelight.
