André Rieu Doubtful About His
Christmas Concerts In The MECC
1Limburg, by Jo Cortenradt, Friday 12 November
André Rieu's Christmas concerts at the MECC in Maastricht may not take place this year.
"We will be considering the situation in the coming week," says the Maastricht orchestra leader. He does not want to draw a definitive line through the concerts yet and wants to keep all options open.
Uncertain
Although the measures announced by the outgoing cabinet initially apply for three weeks, there is still uncertainty about a possible extension. "Based on the new rules, the three concerts cannot take place," says Rieu. The concerts are scheduled for 17, 18 and 19 December.
Corona
In 2019 André Rieu started his Christmas concerts at the MECC. He invested a lot in the décor and hoped to be able to earn it back in the following years. But in 2020, the concerts had to be cancelled due to corona.

This news is not good. How much longer we can last without some magic in our lives is not known but, for certain, it can't be much longer. It is not only the situation in the Netherlands but also to situation in our home countries when it comes to the return journey.
