ARNHEM December 20, 2009 In the Gelredome Rieu was assisted by André van Duin. The comedian performed in several of his well know characters and also as as a singer. The Maastricht violinist is a big fan of Van Duin because of his many qualities. In Arnhem the comedian sang his own version of the classic "Het Dorpje" (The Village).The Dutch Violinist André Rieu Saturday pulled out all the stops for his first Christmas concert in the Gelredome in Arnhem. The fans got their monies worth ... for nearly two and a half hours Rieu and his orchestra presented a musical festival to a not completely sold out stadium.
Despite the harsh weather conditions, André's second concert in the Gelredome took place on Sunday afternoon as scheduled. Of the 16 thousand people expected, two thousand were unable to attend. These people are invited to attend the concert in the Amsterdam ArenA on 4 September 2010. How exactly the exchange action will take place will be announced prior to the end of the year.
The Christmas concerts in Arnhem are part of the last four concerts of this year and are part of the thirtieth anniversary of the artist. That places him as one of the top ten best-selling live acts. This year was Rieu's third consecutive Christmas concert performance in Arnhem. Sunday will be the second and final concert of this series.
Thank you to John for the Translation on this!
I thought that I was reliving what happened here in the Northeast USA last night. That is exactly what went on here all night. A blinding snowfall.
ReplyDeleteI do think that our snowplows are out as soon as the first snowflake hits the ground. Those roads looked a bit treacherous.
