After a long wait, we are finally there! For months now you have been able to enjoy watching the preparations for the most beautiful TV special ever made by André Rieu and his enchanting orchestra, whether on our website andrerieu.com or on the television. This summer the fairy-tale world of the Efteling amusement park received an extra shot of magic with two unrivalled concerts by our Maestro combined with fairy-tale preliminary recordings demanding some very intensive preparations. And now… the DVD of this spectacle is in the pipeline! You can now place an order for the fairy-tale ‘André Rieu in Wonderland’, in your own familiar André Rieu Boutique.
Ordering NOW means you will be the first to receive the DVD!
This DVD is quite a problem for a newsletter author, because no words can really describe it…
It begins impressively with an introduction that will give you goose pimples: the amazing ‘Thus Spake Zarathustra’, which opens the doors onto an enchanted world. And from that moment, André brings well-known figures from fairy tales to life in an atmosphere of fantastic music, enchanting light and a spectacular background. We really pulled out ALL the stops here: in the dead of night (as the Efteling park was open to the public as normal during the day) divers constructed a stage in the water for the scene from the much loved ‘Swan Lake’. Camels, snakes and a real elephant were brought in to create a ‘thousand-and-one nights’ atmosphere during the warm ‘Salomé’ and the rousing ‘Sabre Dance’. Never has the ‘Second Waltz’ sounded quite so beautiful or been played with so much passion and pleasure. In a stunning set, Hansel and Gretel dance with other children and sing the cheery ‘Little Brother Dance With Me’ (sung and danced by no less than Carla Maffioletti, Carmen Monarcha and the Berlin Sparrows).
