Waltzing bliss, humor and great emotions: When André Rieu performs with his Johann Strauss Orchestra, every concert is transformed into a glittering celebration of music - an evening that makes hearts beat faster.
With over 40 million albums sold and more than 700,000 visitors a year, André Rieu is one of the most successful live artists in the world. The Dutch violinist and conductor regularly fills concert halls from Chile to Abu Dhabi with his Johann Strauss Orchestra. Over 22 million people follow him on social media - proof of the unbroken fascination of his music and personality.
"Germany is like a second home to me. The passion and enthusiasm of the audience are simply unique," says Rieu - and you can feel that in every one of his performances. In 2026, audiences can once again expect a romantic and varied program that combines opera, musicals, film music, hits, evergreens and, of course, Rieu's famous waltzes.
His concerts are far more than just musical performances - they are opulent shows in which music, humor and emotion merge into an unforgettable overall experience. Magnificent costumes, colorful stage decorations and atmospheric lighting effects create an atmosphere that delights young and old alike.
Rieu once again proves his versatility with his latest album "The Sound of Heaven". From George Frideric Handel to Giacomo Puccini and Andrew Lloyd Webber, from ABBA to John Williams, the musical spectrum ranges from The Phantom of the Opera to Star Wars, from Titanic to The Sound of Music. The album reached number 1 in the German classical music charts and includes a bonus DVD with the most beautiful concert moments - further proof of the timeless magic that Rieu's music unfolds.
André Rieu, the "Waltz King of the 21st century", remains an artist who connects people worldwide - with a smile, a sound and a melody that lingers in the heart.
