It’s home from home for the King of Waltzes

-

ASECOND royal visit will be taking place in Halton in July, as the king of the waltz comes to town. André Rieu has announced that his 2018 Maastricht concerts will be screened in over 2000 cinemas and theatres worldwide across the weekend of July 28-29, and the good news for the people of Halton and surroundin­g areas is that The Brindley Theatre will be one of them.

The Brindley will be screening the iconic performanc­e on Saturday, July 28 at 7pm.

Amore, My Tribute To Love, is the renowned violinist’s tribute to his love for music, and his love for both of his families; his wife and children, and his Johann Strauss Orchestra, who he has performed with for over 30 years.

It follows on from the release of his album Amore last year, which features his own versions of classic love songs, from the worlds of popular and classical music.

For this very special concert, Rieu will be offering a lucky winner the ultimate musical love dedication; all cinemagoer­s will be invited to dedicate one of Rieu’s waltzs to their loved ones.

Rieu will personally select a dedication and he will announce the winner during the concert on both nights.

The unforgetta­ble concerts that take place every year in Rieu’s hometown of Maastricht in the Netherland­s are a sight to behold.

Set against the incredible backdrop of the medieval town square, fans flock annually from all corners of the world to watch Rieu perform with his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra, as well as sopranos, tenors, and some very special guests.

The concerts are packed full humour, fun and emotion for all ages.

This annual celebratio­n of music that is like no other is also experience­d every year in full by hundreds of thousands of fans across the world from the comfort of their local cinema, also treated to some very special behind the scenes extras.
