“Bolero by Candlelight” is an evening made for lovers that lends Spanish romanticism to America’s Valentine’s Day. Slip into something comfortable, pour a glass of wine, light a few candles, and snuggle up to a selection of songs that will transport you and your loved one to a dimly lit cafe on the Southwestern coast of Spain.
