André Rieu ZDF "Vienna City of My Dreams"

André Rieu, "Vienna City of My Dreams"

Saturday October 1, 2011 on ZDF

Presseportal, Germany: "André Rieu, Vienna, City of My Dreams", star violinist meets world star Anthony Hopkins. It will happen on October 1st, 2011 at 8:15 PM in three-quarter time with André Rieu, traveling through Vienna. Barbara Wussow and the star violinist will travel in a carriage through the city of waltzes and present to the ZDF viewers the points of interest of this Habsburg city.

"Vienna, City of My Dreams" is a tribute to the city of Vienna, which starts with an André Rieu concert in Vienna's city hall. The Maestro and his Johann Strauss Orchestra present in an incomparable manner the most beautiful waltzes and Viennese songs. Also appearing are the Platinum Tenors, sopranos Mirusia Louwerse, Kalki Schrijvers and Kimmy Skota.

It is no wonder that for his contribution in spreading the Viennese music all over the world, Rieu has now received the highest honor: In July he received the "Golden Medal for Services to the Republic of Austria" at the Belvedere Castle, where the carriage ride with Barbara Wussow also happens to end. In the castle André Rieu meets Sir Anthony Hopkins. The superstar who not only is a fan of the violinist, and what was far less known, is even a musician and composer. One of the best conditions for the cooperation between the two.
