Future Mega Concerts

Future Mega Projects 2007~2008

This a recent interview given by Andre, and contributed by Arie Bussemaker (Holland) "to friends of Andre Rieu"
And worked more in our idioms by Joan Hopkins from Illinois.

In September 2007 we are going to Japan for some concerts. Since we’ll be in the neighborhood, we are flying to Australia for a week to promote the next concert tour. We are very popular in Australia. Seven of my albums are in the top 10. We will be playing in the Olympic Stadium in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane.

We have built an impressive exact replica of the façade of Schönbrunn as our set and we are taking it with us. We have had three of these stage sets built. We had to do this because it will take about three months for it to arrive in Australia. There is no other way since the concerts in other cities need to go on as usual.

For these Mega projects, André has chosen special venues such as the Stade in Paris, Boudewijn-Stadium in Brussels, arenas in Düsseldorf and Amsterdam, and the Olympic Stadium in Munich. Next year in 2008 we are going to Mexico and Brazil, and later to Chili and Argentina. One day in the future we will play in Moscow's Red Square.

One of these mega sets, a replica of the facade of Schonbrunn will be shipped here and used for the first time at the December "Toronto Concert"
