Our experience: Tribute to Adele
We attended one of the Candlelight Tribute to Adele concerts at the Repulse Bay venue. The marquee was air‑conditioned, which made the evening comfortable despite the heat, and there was a small bar outside where guests could grab drinks to bring inside. The atmosphere felt relaxed and intimate, with clear views of the string quartet from every seat.
The musicians played Adele’s biggest hits, weaving in short conversations and a few stories about the songs. Phones were off‑limits during the concert, but for the final piece the audience was invited to take photos and move around freely. Overall, it was a cozy, well‑paced concert and a great way to enjoy some classical music with a modern twist.
