"MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA WELCOMES ANDRÉ HOME"Concerts at Rod Laver Arena on Thursday October 29th. The International Violinist will perform Four Concerts in Melbourne this year ...Melbourne Observer: The Countdown is on for the first of André Rieu's Melbourne
"The Dame and the Maestro" ~ Dutch violinist is on his way to Melbourne after launching the first of his Australian 2009 concerts in Sydney. Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra played to a crowd of 14,000 who were thrilled with a surprise appearance by Dame Edna Everage.
Sydney radio man Alan Jones who has been battling cancer also made an appearance singing "We Are Australian".
The tour included two shows in Sydney, plus performances Sunday and Monday in Newcastle. Other shows are listed for Brisbane, Auckland and Adelaide. The Melbourne concerts will be held at Rod Laver Arena on October 29, 30, 31 and November 1.
Melbourne is indeed waiting to welcome Andre Rieu 'home'. Thanks to the Melbourne Observer and its great cover and double page picture of Andre! We seem to have been waiting forever. It now remains to be seen whether "Dame Edna" will appear in 'her' home town and will there be a surprise guest as in Sydney, with Alan Jones. Does it really matter though? As long as Andre & the JSO come to town we Melburnians will be more than happy. 5 sleeps to go! CheeRIEU from Val & Victorian Friendship Group.
