André Rieu's Latest Interview Limburg Television

News in André's Latest Interview From Ineke

Recently the Limburg TV channel L1 showed the program ~ 'Good Afternoon Limburg' (Goeiemiddag Limburg) with André as a guest. Of course I taped the interview and as soon as Ruud is home (he is for a few weeks in Ireland for his job) we'll do the translation and post it on our website. But I'd like to tell you the latest news from André's mouth! ~ Ineke

1. In 2010 he'll tour in Brazil and South Africa. Pierre is right now in Brazil to do the negotiations.

2. The interviewers asked André which city he would choose to live, if he could not live in Maastricht any more. He said he would always prefer Maastricht, but next would be New York, for that is the center of the whole world.

3. Central Park is not out of the picture, they are still talking about a performance there.

4. André intends to perform in front of the Brandenburger Tor (Berlin). That is a historic place because of the fall of the German wall (in Holland we called it "the Iron Curtain").

5. He also intends to perform in front of the Eiffel Tower (Paris).

6. He even intends to perform in Sydney in a park in front of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge (Botanical Garden?) on New Years Eve to create the biggest open air ballroom of the world. With dancing and fireworks. (My question: which year? New Years Eve 2009 seems impossible to me, for we purchased tickets for New Years Day concert in Cologne, Germany).

And last but not least ~ André is going to be a "Grandpa" from his oldest son Marc!!! What a surprise! In October 2008 Pierre married his Eefje, but we know nothing about Marc ... André was very happy to tell the news!
