Public & Institutional Anniversaries by Candlelight at Palais des Congrès

The Challenge

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic Palais des Congrès de Paris, the venue’s management sought a bold, unforgettable concept that would pay tribute to the legendary artists who had graced its stage over the past five decades. The experience needed to feel elevated, nostalgic, and surprising—worthy of both the venue’s legacy and its distinguished guests.

The Solution: Candlelight Concert Experience

Fever reimagined the iconic Palais des Congrès de Paris with a bold and cinematic twist—placing the audience on stage while transforming the entire theatre into a glowing sea of candles. This one-night-only Candlelight concert inverted the traditional setup to celebrate the venue’s 50-year legacy in a visually and emotionally powerful way.

The event brought together 200 distinguished guests, including cultural icons and performers from the venue’s past, creating an exclusive and nostalgic tribute.

The musical program paid homage to legendary artists with a string quartet performance featuring classics by Elton John, ABBA, Queen, Adele, Hans Zimmer, Coldplay, and Ennio Morricone, among others. Each piece was chosen to reflect the diversity and artistry that have defined the venue over five decades.

Custom production included a tailored setlist, immersive candlelight scenography, and a complete spatial redesign—blurring the lines between performer and audience to transform the venue into a stage of memory, emotion, and celebration.
