Andre Rieu

As always with André, ‘WONDERFUL WORLD’ is a brilliant product, bringing you a fabulous summer evening concert in Maastricht. The Platinum Tenors sing a world-famous aria from Georges Bizet’s ‘The Pearl Fishers’ and the well-known ‘Amor, vida de mi vida’. Carmen Monarcha shines as Madam Butterfly, Donij Van Doorn sings the Vilja song with great passion and Mirusia Louwerse steals everyone’s heart with a song from ‘The Phantom of the Opera’.

Andre Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra along with 6 powerful soloists perform the most beautiful Holiday melodies in this magical two-hour spectacular recorded in and around a winter wonderland setting: Andris fabled castle in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The Modern Maestro presents 26 classics like the heartening "Silent Night," "Ave Maria" and "O Come All Ye Faithful", as well as unforgettable renditions of all-time favorites like "Jingle Bells" and "Go Tell It on the Mountain"

ANDRÉ RIEU created the Johann Strauss Orchestra in 1987 which began with 12 members but now performs with between 40 and 50 musicians. His repertoire covers a wide range of classical music as well as popular and folk music plus music from well-known sound tracks and theatre musicals…

The Vrijthof concerts have been going for ten years and this anniversary was all the excuse André Rieu needed to make things extra festive and put on a fantastic, unforgettable anniversary concert with his new DVD, ‘Love In Venice’ – a selection of favourites from the concert. For this tenth concert series he had the Vrijthof square specially decorated in Venetian style, complete with a Doge’s Palace, Rialto Bridge, a fabulous Italian fountain and a colourful Venetian masquerade and it was a party from start to end.
