André Rieu Continues To Count On Support Packages

André Rieu Continues To Count On Support Packages

de Limburger, Editorial Staff: André Rieu hopes that the government will not suddenly stop with the corona support packages. If the financial support happens to disappear, the curtain will definitely fall on his orchestra, the world-famous violinist fears.

The 71-year-old Rieu is receiving support because there has not been any turnover since March last year. With that, he pays the salaries of his orchestra members and "some fixed costs", Rieu told the RTL 4 talk show Humberto on Tuesday. Whether he will make it is still the question. "It's going to be difficult, too. I believe that in October the aid officially ends. If they still say: "You still can't perform"... yes, that would be a bit unfair. Plus, then all that money is thrown away."

Rieu tries to keep up the courage. "One day it's all going to be fine again," he says. "How do I keep my good mood? Because of the music and my attitude. I don't play a role on stage. I'm really like that. That helps."

    It would be a castrophe to loose our dear Andre and all that he gives to us. There must be a way we can keep him. You have hit rock bottom before Andre you will do it again.
