Following the announcement of his appearance at the LG Arena next winter, André Rieu has confirmed a second date at the arena on December 19, 2012.
Billed as ‘the world’s most popular classical artist’ André Rieu is renowned for his energetic and festive live concerts, and will be visiting the LG Arena on December, 18 and 19, 2012.
Titled ‘An unforgettable evening with André Rieu’, the tour will show the maestro conducting his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra and playing his world-famous Stradivarius violin – and fans are positively encouraged to get out of their seats and waltz in the aisles.
Known as the ‘King of Waltz’, André Rieu is one of the best-selling live acts in the world. He has sold more than 30 million albums globally, and has broken all classical concert records, packing stadiums and arenas with more than 700,000 adoring fans each year.
He has seven albums listed in the British music DVD top 40 and his latest release ‘Fiesta Mexicana!’ reached the number one.
