The son of a conductor grew up with the world of music as a child. However, he always found the seriousness, the latently depressed atmosphere at concerts disturbing. So he began to interpret classical music in a completely new way. Cheerful, cheerful, to sway along, to hum and to clap. And so his performances since then have always become a great light-hearted celebration of joy. This time, too, André Rieu will come to Munich with a colourful programme of hits and film music, musicals and waltzes, operas and operettas and, of course, with his usual charming moderations, he will ensure the best atmosphere, a big party for all generations. The title of his DVD "Happy Days are Here Again", which will be released in April 2023, is also fitting.
It will be a special anniversary for the star violinist from Maastricht - after all, 2024 will be the 25th anniversary of his debut in the Olympic Park. Back then, in June 1999, he appeared on stage for the first time at the benefit gala "Michael Jackson and friends". Ten more performances in the park followed, most recently in January 2023 in the Olympic Hall. Of course, Rieu's Johann Strauss Orchestra, with which he has been touring since 1988, will be there again.
