The Vrijthof concerts, set amongst the cultural backdrop of this beautiful town, have become one of the most popular concerts in his yearly schedule. Acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest living musical legends, Dutch-born André Rieu was classically trained, and is now an accomplished violinist, an excellent conductor and a truly great showman. With his orchestra, choir, soloists and special guests he brings a delightful and innovative approach to his concerts, recreating the atmosphere of 19th-century Viennese Dance Halls. Rapt audiences sway with the music, hum along and even dance in the aisles – it all happens! During the concert – the highlight of each break – you will hear music from across André’s repertoire, from his first major hit album, ‘Strauss & Co’ to his latest release, ‘Happy Days’, celebrating his 70th Birthday’. It will be a wonderful not-to-be-missed experience! Air & Eurostar™ Inclusive Breaks available We are delighted to offer four travel package options to see the great man perform in his hometown.
