Under The Stars: Live In Maastricht V
Fall in love again with André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra as they bring you a colourful concert with over two-hours of beautiful melodies under the star-studded summer skies. Once again André Rieu transformed the Vrijthof square in his hometown Maastricht into a grand, romantic open-air concert hall with room for about ten thousand people for his traditional summer evening concerts.
André returns to Maastricht bringing with him two wonderful guest choirs – the Harlem Gospel Choir and the Soweto Gospel Choir – and a very special guest: Oscar-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins! The Hollywood-based star is a great admirer of André Rieu and wrote a piece called “And The Waltz Goes On” specially with Rieu in mind. André Rieu performed it in Maastricht for the first time for such a large crowd.
One of the stunning spectacles of the night is soprano soloist Mirusia Louwerse performing Mary Poppins' “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” and flying through the air, high above the wonder-struck audience.
“Under The Stars” contains 24 tracks and guest appearances by the South African Soweto Gospel Choir, The Harlem Gospel Choir, the St. Petersburg trio, local act 'Ziesjoem', Rieu's sopranos Mirusia Louwerse, Kimmy Skota and the Platin tenors in a romantic summer evening setting.
From spirituals to musicals, and folk songs to waltzes; this is a glorious and thrilling celebration of music!

Gorgeous Viennese waltzes, songs and marches, famous Viennese operettas, dances, beautiful costumes, the Johann Strauss Orchestra enjoying skating by the Vienna Town Hall (to the strains of a Viennese waltz of course) the golden coach with six white horses... and of course André in his starring role as conductor, violinist and entertainer.

She and André will take you behind the scenes where you can see how he produced the replica of the famous Schönbrunn Palace.
A complete surprise for André is the moment when he comes unsuspecting into the Marble Hall of the fabulous Belvedère Castle and is presented with the Gold Medal of Honour in recognition of his role as a true ambassador of Viennese music to the whole world.
André is visibly moved and expresses his thanks by playing a new waltz that he has composed specially for his fans all over the world: the ‘Wiener Festwalzer’, a wonderful festive waltz with everything a Viennese waltz should have: allure, joy, elegance, intimacy and romance.

André Rieu Live In Australia (NTSC)
ANDRE Rieu came, saw and conquered the hearts of Melbourne
He has made history. His concert at Melbourne's Telstra Dome on Saturday, 15 November, a record audience of 38,605, made it the biggest attendance of any Rieu show anywhere in the world. That it happened in Australia, the country that has so taken him to heart, pleases him endlessly. "It was an overwhelming experience. The warmth of the audience was overpowering."
A giant, life-size reproduction of Vienna's cream and orange Schonbrunn Castle dominated the eastern end of the Dome. Giant candelabras flickered over the heads of Rieu and his Johann Strauss orchestra and chorus.
André Rieu billed his show as "a romantic Viennese night" and it was all of this and more. Dancers twirled on two 600m ice rinks and from palace balconies and in a ballroom scene. Fountains cascaded and splashed around classical sculptures on either end of the huge stage.

And the spectacular appearance of 150 choir members holding torches was a musical and visual delight that you simply cannot miss.
