Mr. Rieu will bring Vienna to his fans in Australia with two ice rinks and hundreds of dancers, musicians and artists. Fans will feel like they have journeyed to Europe to see him perform.
His unique and exuberant style makes his show one of the most talked about in the world. Fans spend more time dancing in the aisles than sitting in their seats. The King of the Waltz has enjoyed nine albums in the Top Ten DVD chart.
Incredibly taken by the welcome given to him by the Australian public on his recent promotional tour of the country, Mr. Rieu commented “I am so moved. I love Australia and I feel something within me has changed.”
As a tribute to a country André has wholeheartedly embraced, his primary new recording for 2008 will include several Australian traditional songs sung by Brisbane-born soprano Mirusia and will be called “Waltzing Matilda”. It is scheduled for release before Mother’s Day.
With confirmed sales and strong reorders, André Rieu has now surpassed a staggering 845,000 units across CD and DVD to date, and was Universal Music Australia’s biggest-selling artist in 2007 as well as the biggest-selling recording artist in the Australian classical record industry that year. His best-selling DVD “André Rieu in Schönbrunn, Vienna” has just gone seven times platinum in Australia. In keeping with the spirit of Vienna, André Rieu’s brand new DVD, “André Rieu – Live in Vienna” was also released 9 February.
