About

André Rieu
Motorpoint Arena Nottingham
Saturday 15 December 2018

The career of Dutch violin superstar André  Rieu spans more than 30 years – he is not only a first-class entertainer, he is the “King of Waltz”. And he sure knows how to stage a grand show including romantic moments and witty twists.  His orchestral tours draw more than 600,000 people per year, meaning that the charismatic entertainer outsells superstars like Bruno Mars, AC/DC and Rihanna in the Billboard’s Top 10. He has sold a massive 40 million CDs and DVDs and notched 30 Nr. 1 chart positions. André Rieu ends his annual world tour traditionally with a UK and Ireland Arena Tour that leads his 2018 into nine cities coming to the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham Saturday 15 December 2018. He’ll bring romance and magic to every fan during the cozy pre-Christmas season and will play wonderful Christmas carols alongside his entertaining programme.

Waltzes, film scores, folk songs and musicals

On stage André’s incredible musical prowess, passion and charisma make for a magical spectacle. His romantic and fun shows are the only ones where people regularly jump to their feet and dance in the aisles. It’s not uncommon to see devoted fans laughing, weeping, clapping, dancing and embracing when they listen to the orchestra and André’s precious Stradivarius violin from 1732; his shows are a perfect mix of thrilling, romantic, festive and emotional melodies combined with surprises, balloons, beautiful soloists and of course André’s great sense of humour.

André and his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra (the largest private orchestra in the world) created a global revival in waltz music, staging spectacular extravaganzas which are second to none.  André’s concerts are a feast not only for the ears but also the eyes! Having received over 500 Platinum Awards, three Classical Brit Awards for “Album of the Year” and billions of Youtube views, André is one of the biggest touring artists in the world.
