It will include his choice show tunes, operatic arias and dance numbers, guaranteed to bring back the much missed and much loved André magic.

André said: “My orchestra and I can not wait to perform for you live on stage again, and see you smiling, kissing, singing, and dancing in front of us, happy and carefree!

“And very soon this will be possible!

“To shorten the wait and increase your anticipati­on, I am very excited to announce the release of this wonderful new concert film in your local cinemas.

“Together Again is a wonderful and emotional reminder of how it was before the pandemic and how it will soon be again.

“Thank you for being my guest at this very special cinema event this summer.

“And see you soon when my orchestra and I return to the UK and Ireland in 2022,” he added.

Presented from his hometown of Maastricht, André reflects on the last year, his memories of performing around the world, and on looking forward to bringing new concerts to his fans globally.

He speaks candidly with host Charlotte Hawkins, while being reunited with his beloved Johann Strauss Orchestra for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
