André Rieu is More Energetic Than Ever Before!

André Rieu is More Energetic Than Ever Before!

André Rieu is back ! And it is almost that time again. In a little over a month he will be performing for his 8th year on the Vrijthof in Maastricht. .And he feels fit as a fiddle again. We are clearly talking about the famous Dutch violinist and conductor André Rieu. He is also known as someone who has made classical music accessible to the general public. The popular violinist and his Johann Strauss Orchestra have performed throughout the world and his shows are becoming larger and more exuberant. Meanwhile, more than thirty million CDs and DVD's of André Rieu have been sold worldwide. Each year over 700,000 people visit one of his concerts. That makes him after Madonna, Tina Turner and Britney Spears the best selling touring artist in the world.

Since early 2012, André Rieu has had to cancel many performances due to the flu and fatigue. He explained that his vestibular system was the problem, which is his weak spot. After this difficult period, he now again is ready to face the world! André Rieu has lost as much as 8 kilo's (17.6 lbs), he takes life a little easier and is very active in sports again. Every day he does bodybuilding to keep his body in shape. And because of that he now is in top shape! It is also necessary for him in order to shine for his upcoming concerts. It already has been ten years since André Rieu has really participated in any sport.

In addition to the summer evening concerts on 22, 23, 24 and 26 June on the Vrijthof, André Rieu will join his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra and the many soloists for a new show. On Friday, 30 November the maestro will present a gigantic show in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. He will also perform a Christmas concert on 22 December in the Ahoy in Rotterdam. Expect a colorful concert full of great music, lots of surprises, balloons, the Platin Tenors and the beautiful sopranos from Brazil and South Africa!
