André Rieu at The Royal Variety Performance 2009ANDRÉ RIEU: With a 50 piece orchestra in period costume and a dozen dancers in the isles, this was one of the evening's high spots. The James Last (German orchestra leader who has a huge following in England) of Strauss Waltzes is booked up years in advance. Hardly surprising.

Fantastic! Now that England has seen Andre's face and performance at the Royal Variety Performance they now know who Andre Rieu is. This is exciting.
