Whitney’s golden years brought back to life
ANDRÉ RIEU, the Dutch “King of Waltz” who has made classical music accessible to ordinary people, will bring his Johann Strauss Orchestra to the M&S Bank Arena this May.
Dubbed the “Maestro of the Masses” (New York Times) and a “Weapon of Mass Happiness” (The Spectator), Rieu returns with his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra, the largest private orchestra in the world, the Platin Tenors and many international soloists.
2018 was the Dutch violinist and conductor’s most successful year, with more than 700,000 tickets sold worldwide. And he dreams of performing on the moon one day! The audience can look forward to fantastic melodies from film, musical, opera and operetta, as well as traditional music, and, of course they are invited to waltz the night away in an unforgettable evening of music and dance.
Rieu firmly believes that classical music is made for everybody to enjoy, not just for an elite. At his concerts, everything is allowed: laughing, weeping, singing, dancing in the aisles. Rieu has sold more than 40m CDs and DVDs (his current albums are Romantic Moments II - CD and Love in Maastricht – DVD). He has reached 30 number 1 chart positions and 500 platinum awards.

SAY “I do” to the triumphant return of Edinburgh Comedy Award nominees Max & Ivan (BBC Two’s W1A, Radio 4’s Casebook…).
Commitment is the true story of the unreasonable lengths one best man (Max) will go to give one groom (Ivan) the greatest weekend of his life.
It’s a show about dreaming big, growing up, and trying – but ultimately very much failing – to make it in the band. Directed by Kieran Hodgson.
The Times awarded it five stars, and said: “An ingenious, affectionate two-man spectacular … the show exceeds expectations in the most delightful way.”
The show comes to the Liverpool Royal Court on February 28 and you can pick up tickets at www. liverpoolsroyalcourt.com
