Waltzer
This is not my first Andre Rieu concert, but these fifth row center stage seats made me feel like I was part of the show. Andre has never let me down and this was no exception. Because the waltz is my favorite dance, is all the more reason I enjoy his performance. However, the variety of music that he offers, the array of color, his sense of humor all add to what made for a most memorable concert experience. The sadist part of the event was that it had to come to an end. But Andre did his best to extend the joy of the evening by getting the audience involved in the many encores he gave at the end of the show. Can't wait to see his next appearance in Orlando.

The venue was excellent adding to the enjoyment of the concert. The musicians were accomplished and enthusiastic. The solo artists (tenors and sopranos) were top notch quality. We were very impressed.

Andre Rieu does not come to the USA often but when he does I will go anywhere to see his orchestra. Best show I have ever been to.

Andre Rieu is not commonly known in the United States. My 15 year old son came across him on Ytube and wanted to go see him. Andre Rieu brought forth instrumentals and song in a way that was mesmerizing. No one in the audience wanted the evening to end. He truly was a wonderful talent and well worth the time and money invested to attend one of his concerts.

If it was done at a smaller venue, due to over 10.000 + seats left, overall sound would have been much better.

My wife and I has been going to his concert since he started coming to Baltimore. His music and comedy is very uplifting you want to get up and dance as many of the audience do. He's a master playing music with such of precision if a mistake is made is impossible to recognized. We will continue to attend his concert as long he continue to come to Baltimore.

I took my mother to see Andre as part of her Mother's Day gift. We loved every moment. We were fortunate to have seats on the floor right in the front. The flowers, costumes and song selections...I woulnd't have changed anything. The more you clapp, the more he plays. What a wonderful talent he has! I was disappointed that I didn't take a camera,as I didn't think you would be allowed to take pictures; Yet eveyone around me were snapping up memories. I hope he visitsCleveland again.

Excellent concert. Andrie Rieu kept the audience entertained with a slick - well oiled show. A total of 20 songs were performed followed by 6 songs during the encore - 2 1/2 hours of pure fun. The Brazilian Soprano, Miss Carla Maffioletti was in top form - she held the audience in the palm of her hand - what an amazing singer!!

Andre Rieu never ceases to please his audiences. One will find themselves clapping to the music, singing, and some, where they can, will be waltzing. He adds comedy along with his orchresta antics. No one wants the show to end. He will do an encore or two but the audience did not want him to leave. Totally worth the money.

Andre Rieu sucked us in with his old waltzes, and old world music. This concert was of his operatic agenda. He only played 3 of the pieces that we had grown accustomed to. Had we known this specific agenda, we would have saved our money. The venue was great; we had upgraded seats; the staff was super; The concert was Not. I added a review like this to his website, and it was not retained... They apparently only retain the GOOD reviews...

As a huge fan of Andre Rieu and his fabulous orchestra, I was once again happily impressed, surprised, and well entertained. The talented, charismatic, and charming Mr. Rieu animates and excites his audience with fabulous music, amazing singers, humour, and fantastic performances. There is not a moment I was not engaged with everything going on on stage. One word...fabulous! A must see!

Was our first visit ever to the Amway Center and seeing Andre for a second time was such an excellent night out. Without knowing I purchased Box style seats on level 4, with waiter services. Andre's performance was essentially the same show we seen in 2008, we will take that into consideration before traveling to see him perform in the future, don't take this as a negative its still an excellent show to see. Ive included a photo from our seats.

This is a must concert for you to see. The venue was spectacular and the dresses on the women where so bright and colorful. This was not your typical classical concert. You are immediately part of the concert by the way he plays his music. If you were having a bad day, after the first song, you have forgotten what you day was all about and were smiling, toe tapping and singing along. Mr Rieu is a true show man and his orchestra has so much fun and plays around with each other as they play. You can tell they all totally enjoy playing the music. At one point he was talking and a baby started to cry, so he stopped talking and they played a lullaby to try to calm the baby down. You could tell this was not part of the original line up, but it shows how much he loves his music and how he plays to his audience. This was part classical, part opera and just part plain old fun. The Tenors were outstanding, I could compare them to the Four Tenors they were that good. The women opera singers where out of this world. You could hear every note they sung and you could see that they were so full of passion as they sang. If he ever comes back to Orlando, you would make a big mistake for not seeing him and his orchestra play. I was so happy when I left, all my problems I had been facing were gone and I went home the happiest I have been in the last 9 years. I will be seeing him play again this summer in his home town. I am sure this will be just as exciting. My photos are examples of some of the action. He is the master of getting his audience involved and when he played America, everyone stood up and sang their hearts out.

Andre Rieu and the Johan Strauss orchestra, along with the sopranos and tenors that accompany him, present a superb evening of music ... ranging from waltzes to broadway show tunes and a few other surprizes. He performs mainly in Europe; this was his first performance in Orlando in 3 years. If you truly appreciate any of this kind of music, the Andre Rieu orchestra and performers are not to be missed!

36 hours after leaving Portland, Maine to Orlando,FL to the concert and back to Portland ! Every minute of it was worth hearing the orchestra. Loved the music, dresses, tux but especially the excitement everyone had! Oh how i wish i could go to a big one in Europe but i will wait for the next one in NewYork or Boston or Manchester. The series of concerts here in the US must have been exhausting. Especially when they were back to back. How did they ever set it up in 1 day? I m sure you are anxious to get back hoe after last nights concert. Even my very favorite musician Manoe looked tired. She show any of her very special talents which i for one looked forward to. Probably this was a small concert compared to most of the other ones. Thank you for my highlight of te year! I listen to my CD s and on UTube of Andre and his Orchestra every day! Wish i could have met you all in person but do understand. Is there a way to contact you all?

Although we have seen Andre Rieu on television and internet, being there in person was all we imagined and more! We were thrilled to be at his concert. He is a one of a kind remarkable human being! His joy and love of music and people is infectious. I have never before seen an orchestra perform with such obvious enjoyment of what they were doing. Rieu has such a knowledge of human beings that every part of his concert had a human element to it, including humorous facial expressions of the musicians and humorous interactions between them, sincere acknowledgements of his talented guests and their accomplishments, and the ever present smile on his face as he played his violin, in deep satisfaction as to what he was creating before us! I had not realized the extent of his wonderful visual backgrounds that changed to accompany and enhance each piece performed. And, as usual, Andre Rieu, had audience members dancing to his waltzes, including young children with their parents. The video feed was fun to watch as it landed on audience dancers reacting to seeing themselves on screen for their 15 seconds of fame! Most touching was Andre Rieu's sensitivity to our audience as the show concluded. He was ready to end the show but questioned the audience again and again for perhaps 7 or 8 encores as we, in unison, shouted "no!" we were not yet ready to go home. After again and again providing encore songs, we mutually parted. This was an event to always remember. The venue, the Orlando Amway Center, was stunning, newly renovated, and suitably large, holding 20,000 people, all in love with the feel-great music and creativity of the master, Andre Rieu.

Andre is a most accomplished conductor and entertainer. Sadly, Millennials would not identify with his orchestras truely talented and professional musicians and his choice of classic conciertos. This is for retired folks. Rare music of yesteryear from an era where the grace of ballroom dancing and the emotions of romantic music collided. The heart swoons and you feel that love for your sweetheart all over again.

Since I was a kid I would watch Andre Rieu's concerts on PBS and always dreamed of attending one because they looked like so much fun. This year was the first time I had the opportunity to do so and let me tell you it was everything I dreamed of and more. The venue was wonderful, the highest seats looked like they were pretty close. However I would highly recommend you get a seat on the floor because you have the opportunity to interact with Andre and the orchestra.

It was a great show, as short as it was. However, I felt their hectic schedule of having to be in another city the very next day was a major factor in cutting this concert short. Seems they are pushing too many concerts in too short a time, forcing their decision to keep the shows shorter and giving many of us the feeling we were short-changed. Also, they played only tried and true pieces that required no rehearsal or even sheet music, old familiar stuff that they can play in their sleep. No surprises or bonus songs like in so many other places. Seemed like a "Hurry up so we can get the hell out of here" event. Just look on "You Tube" if you want to see what a normal show in other places is like. Ice skaters, huge choruses, hundreds of bag pipers, large numbers of waltzing couples, the list is long. Good show, actually a great show by true professionals being highly entertaining, but not what I was expecting for the money. There is no "next time" for me.

From start to finish, a joyful experience. I have never in my life seen such joy in an entire audiance as I saw during the complete Andre Rieu concert. There was laughter and fun throughout the evening. In fact never a dull moment. The music choices were well chosen for the entire audience. Excellent mix. Even the young (about 7 or 8 years old.) children were enthralled. What a treat this show was.

What a wonderful, exciting surprise to find that Andre Rieu and The Johann Strauss Orchestra would be touring the United States! Immediately upon this discovery, early in November, I secured event tickets, round-trip flights from Omaha to Phoenix, hotel, transportation, etc., and informed my beau who was more than thrilled and nearly hugged me to bits. So many of Andre's waltzes bring tears to our eyes and the unexpected moments of ingenious interspersed comedy of livelier pieces are the perfect touch! Waiting for the performance to begin, I overheard the woman sitting next to me complaining to her husband about anything and everything she could ( comparing Comerica's auditorium to New York City's Broadway Events auditoriums, Rockefeller Center, etc.) letting him know how disappointing this evening would be. Are you kidding?!! I felt like slapping her for her total lack of gratitude and her unnecessary pessimism, but I smiled over at her man who obviously had kept all the details from her for months. And then... Yes! ... She was on her feet, wild with enthusiasm, and..., of course, thoroughly enjoyed the entire show. I still felt like smacking her upside the head, as I never once heard her give thanks or acknowledgement for the efforts of the wonderful, patient, abiding gentleman standing beside her... smiling. As for me and my sweet T..... it was our first opportunity to be able to afford and be at a live Andre Rieu performance. I pray it won't be the last! Two days before our trip, we saw that Paul Anka was to guest-star.... Icing of the very best kind for an already amazing event! Folks... let me tell you.. Paul hasn't lost one iota of his ability to wrap you up in his spell.. a magnificent voice that has held tight to it's ability, it's spot-on youthful sound still there.... "My Way" never sounded soooo good! We are hoping that Andre will appear in Omaha in the future! I've always said, "Make life happen for you... not to you." I did... and always will. Thank you, Andre Rieu, The Johann Strauss Orchestra, and Paul Anka for being here.... opening your hearts so completely... and filling our hearts with everything it takes to make us feel so much a part of all of you!

The concert was magnificent!! The musicians were top flight, Andre was quite engaging and entertaining in his banter with the audience, and the sound was very good. My only issue that I could see was with the large video directly behind the orchestra. I am not sure if this is a Comerica issue or an Andre Rieu issue. The screen changed to different themes with each piece. There was a large black patch right in the middle of the screen where the pixels did not seem to be properly appearing. Still, it took nothing away from what I consider a stellar show.

The concert started on the slow side, and I think it would have been a lot more enjoyable without that boring guy who played two notes and wanted to be recognized... If Andre had brought Akim Kamara instead, I'd have given 5 stars! Overall it was a great concert and - as usual - they deliver!!!

From the beginning to the end. Andre Rieu just wows his audience wi a very talented and animated orchestra. Every musician was such a treat to watch. With falling "snow" and baloons and lively music, one could not help but stand and clap and participate in such a magnificent display of beautiful music. I cannot wit to see them again on their next tour as we have in the past. Great entertainment with magnificent talent

This concert was far beyond over my expectations, colorful, incredible music and fun. Andre Rieu s a true Showman along with the musicians from the Johann Strauss Orchestra incredibly talented Sopranos and Tenors. Will definitely come back to see them again in the future.

Andre and the Johann Strauss Orchestra were spectacular. There were more people in attendance than when he appeared in Orlando in 2011. The performers managed to mix great music with a bit of humor to the delight of everyone. They made it snow in Orlando Florida at one point during the concert.

It was really one of the most important evening of my life. I was well surprised with everything I saw and feel. Besides Andre Rieu's well-known talent and sympathy, his wonderful team and scenary very impressed me. They show us how to work with passion and happiness, creating a pleasant atmosphere that we can really feel while we had marvellous moments together. Thank you all, congrats for everything. Singers were great! I wish all the world can have the opportunity to share such delightful experience. Please, come over again and again!!! Loved it!!

We arrived in an after holiday funk but left dancing in the aisles, singing out loud, clapping, and laughing. First of all, the orchestra is superb. The soaring music was nonstop. They play every piece of wonderful music you have ever wanted to hear. The soloists were excellent...just glorious. Also, Andre Rieu is such a maestro of exquisite taste and so profoundly experienced that you float along on his groundswell of beautiful music and get so uplifted and so elevated that it is transformational. Yes, I am gushing because the maestro engaged us from the stage..he cajoled us into leaving any cares or worries behind and lifted us into his world of beautiful music. His appreciation and focus was inspiring. So as you read my words you can see how much I enjoyed this concert. The people sitting around us had been to many previous concerts and I was surprised until I understood why.

This was a gift from My Son Andrew! So Apropos! Johann Strauss is not heard enough! I was brought up with this music! The music, the dresses, the men in Tuxedos! I felt as if I should have dressed up as well! This was also a surprise to my friend, who enjoyed it immensely! Thank you Andre and Company for an amazing evening! Bravo!!!

It was relaxing and fun filled. Andre intereacted with the audience throughout the show. We laughed, I cried. It was very touching. This was the first show of his that I have been too, and want to go to more! His singers were captivating. the "scenes" behind the orchestra were beautiful.

This show was even better then the first one we saw at the VW Arena! The background was fantastic and the music absolutely beautiful. Andre Rieu is a real "showman" a very brilliant musician with great sense of humor, has a talented orchestra and gifted singers who put on a show to remember. Will definitely be there the next time he is in town!

This event was thrilling. It was so good that we decided to drive on Monday Nov. 28 to Newark, NJ to attend another Rieu concert. If you love semi-classical music or at least like music with melody and lyrics with meaning, by all means go to Rieu.com to check out coming events.

It was entitled "An Unforgettable Evening with Andre Rieu" - and yes it was unforgettable. The orchestra, the soloists, and of course Andre. The concert was truly an experience. It was great sitting in the 5th row center except during the ""Snow Waltz" and Andre's "snow storm". They sprinkle simulated snow made out of shredded white plastic. It's tough to get off your close and as for the ladies and their fancy hairdo's, well I guess it's back to the beauty parlor. When you leave an Andre Rieu concert, you always have a good feeling. Stayed awake in bed for 2 hours that night just thinking of the wonderful evening.

The concert by Andre Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra at the Patriot Center was really great!. Beautiful, lively, inspiring, humorous- it had a little of everything and lots of standing ovations. It started out with lovely Strauss waltzes and moved on to arias from talented soloists, showtunes, a fun "skater's waltz" where the brass section was passing along a flask, and a surprising showstorm during the "snow waltz." Andre kept the show moving along with humorous asides. During the "Blue Danube" a number of people got up and waltzed in the aisles. Overall a fun and joyful concert!

I m in love, I m in love, I m in love with a wonderful guy, Nellie Forbush first sang many years ago in South Pacific, and all the world still thrills to her shared sentiment. I too am in love with a wonderful guy. I m in love with Andre Rieu, and this is no passing fancy. The unforgettable sensation of his October 18, 2011 San Antonio concert lingers on. But we re here in South Texas, where the whole enchilada is what counts. Okay. So I m in love with the wonderful orchestra, the wonderful music, the wonderful concert, the wonderful internationalism of that wonderful guy, Andre Rieu.

It was an spectacular evening! Andre Rieu is a world renowned star with his smashing 50-piece ensemble which bring to life J. Strauss for all! Timeless and a must-see for all - even the ones that have not been introduced to Classical; if you haven't this is also for you!

André put on the best concert I have seen. He and his musicians outdid themselves. The whole concert was entertaining, a treat to the eyes with the gorgeous dresses. I enjoyed Roland LaFosse because he's from France like me, My favorite singer, Carla Maffioletti, what a voice and love the cute mischievious doll she representes. André, your facial expressions are so ....natural??? André is a good sport, he'll do anything for fun to entertain the crowd and all his fans. My biggest enjoyment is hearing the sound of his STRAD violin, he just doesn't play alone often enough. I miss that very much. Hope André will come back to San Antonio next year, I am 77 yrs young and want to see him and his JSO again. GOD willing...!!!

We loved every minute of it. Two of us have attended 3 times and the other party for the 1st time. He was so excited and can hardly wait for the next concert. I loved the snow although watching the reactions of some of the audience, I don't know what they thought.. Guess just call them old fogies. Even if I am in my 80's I would have liked to have been sitting there. They got the balloons too!!! I'll just say wonderful, wonderful.

This is our third Rieu concert and the best. The eight encores were icing on the cake, the cordial atmosphere, exquisite talent, musical selections and crowd control were all outstanding. A serious consideration for us was the ability to photograph at will - missing from "stuffier" productions. This live production is right up their with all of our DVD possesssionsof this fine company and Xcel Center should be proud of its ability to carry it out!

I have been to many shows as I previously lived in the NYC area. Never has a concert moved me as this one. I was thrilled the whole evening. What an amazing conductor! Having seen several Public TV specials I was compelled to go to this show. My companion is a fan of Country music. He to fell in love with the music of this concert as well as this fantastic conductor.
