Best known for having brought together the Johann Strauss Orchestra, a musical movement dedicated the waltz style, Rieu is now widely considered one of the world’s most successful classical acts still working; that’s certainly something that’s true in terms of his live shows, which generally see him play to packed out arenas around the world - the kinds of venues usually reserved for pop and rock acts. since 1987, he’s been flanked by his Johann Strauss Orchestra, which now can boast anywhere between eighty and 150 musicians, depending on the performance. Their mastery of the waltz has led to Rieu being dubbed the ‘waltz king’.
Having performed across the globe, including lengthy tours of Europe, the Americas and Japan, the Orchestra have also enjoyed a great deal of recorded success, with a slew of gold and platinum certifications to their name; some of their records have gone up to eight-times platinum in Rieu’s native Netherlands. In recent years, Rieu’s performances with the Johann Strauss Orchestra have become increasingly lavish and extravagant, including a 2008 tour that saw him perform in front of a full-scale reproduction of Empress Sisi’s Castle. He was the world’s most popular male solo touring artist in early 2009.

Violin is an incredibly complex instrument to completely master, and Andre Rieu is one of the few performers that I have seen live who has truly mastered the instrument. The venue was an open air courtyard with fantastic vocals, and watching Rieu play first violin for a conductor-less strings orchestra was remarkable. The touring show features the Johann Strauss Orchestra, and the classical waltz music has a touring audience as large as some of the biggest pop and rock artists.
The orchestra has around 100 musicians performing, and watching Rieu lead such a large number of instrumentalists whilst playing incredibly complex melodies on his own instrument is simply remarkable. He took several solos throughout the show, showcasing his perfected talent at his instrument. He received mush applause from his solos plucking away at his violin as well as bowing.
Although of course he was unable to talk to the audience extensively throughout the show, Rieu interacted wonderfully, turning round occasionally to play to the audience rather than the orchestra. When he did get the change between the long recitals, he thanked the audience for being there and making his tour such a success. The performance was incredible, and hopefully the rumours for the next tour are not without foundation!

This was my fourth time at the Metro Radio Arena to see Andre Rieu and the JSO and it was an absolutely fabulous evening. Andre is a complete master of his trade and the JSO are amazing. The whole evening was filled with fabulous music ranging from sing-a-long to emotional. The evening was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was like one big happy family enjoying a brilliant evening out together. The Platin Tenors and Mirusia Louwerse were amazing soloists. Thank you Andre and the JSO for a wonderful evening, the memories of which will stay with me for a very long time.

I highly recommend for you to see Andre' Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra. It was my third time to see him perform. I can't seem to get enough of the splendor of his music which makes you feel like you're floating in the air. His audience is like one big family enjoying themselves in a party. You will definitely forget your worries when you see him perform and his orchestra.They are absolutely magnificent! I will see him again and again and will not get tired watching him. Bravo!

Det var en SUPER god koncert med Andre Rieu. Såvel musikken, hans kommentarer (som dog er gentagelser både i tv-udsendelser og i går på scenen) - men han er en skæg spradebasse, også hans mimik er fantastisk. Specielt i Herning, hvor han kommenterede publikums tilbagekomst til pladserne efter pausen - skægt.
Jeg savnede dog Carmen fra Brasilien, men hun er jo i glædelig omstændighed. Til lykke med det også.

The concert was lovely, the sound system in pretty good shape, with only minor glitches. Great song selection and lovely interaction with the public
The organisation of the event was very ok, especially as the weather is almost boiling these days, the seating was also appropriate.

An excellent concert,at O2 Arena, Prague. Maestro Andre Rieu never fails. I love his sense of humour and interaction with the audience. Great performance from the Johann Strauss orchestra, directed by the best maestro on the globe!! WELL DONE.

Absolutely all I expected and more from the second row! Loved the little girl soprano and antics of the performers. Outstanding entertainment, hotel was convenient, and food at the Jackson restaurant restaurant there was very good.
