He is the King of Waltz, Johann Strauss's reincarnation, Anthony Hopkins’s idol and all together. He collects butterflies, lives in the castle of D'Artagnan and dreams to perform a concert on the moon. The most eccentric musician of the world came to Romania, to announce a grand show. Andre Rieu will bring in capital over 60 musicians and great stage settings.
The concerts will be performed on June 12, 13 and 14.
The violinist is preparing a grand show for the Romanians, with hundreds of artists, singers, designers, producers. And with thousands of spectators. Rieu came to Romania to make a great personal ad. "The message we send to Romanians: I am coming to Romania to play for you and I will bring my heart and I will open my heart together with my musicians."
The artist and his Johann Strauss orchestra perform every year, more than 100 concerts, with over one million spectators. It's the only artist who performed classical music in top world tournaments.
The exuberance of his performances on stage is part of his personal life. Andre Rieu is a fascinating character, a butterfly collector and a passionate of the alien world. He lives in the castle where D'Artagnan, one of the Three Musketeers, had his last breakfast before he died.
About waltz, Andre Rieu says that it is the music of eternity. The only thing that would make the aliens dance. It's one of the reasons that he dreams to sing on the moon someday. Because the universe vibrates to the rhythm of his violin.
