I am going to his concert in New Hampshire in May. If you love music you can sing to, mixed with some great classical pieces ad waltzes, the promo says: "on December 15, 2007 André Rieu and his orchestra and a few great soloists will be giving a very special concert in the Rogers Centre in Toronto, the world’s largest indoor stadium. It will be a ...Viennese evening, just like last summer at Schönbrunn Palace ... André Rieu and his 50-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra will (present)...romantic musical highlight of the year, with magnificent sets, a dazzling light show, world-famous ice dancers, fabulous costumes and the loveliest waltzes… A real ice rink will be built for the world’s best ice dancers to perform... the romance of the most beautiful love-song melodies in unique surroundings." For more info www.andrerieu.com I've no connection to the orchestra,the venue,or Mr. Rieu. But what a great holiday present! Now, should the lottery come throughy, I'll be there.

I think he started as a violin player, getting people into concert halls who never had been there before by choosing light classical composers. Television concerts where he let people partake in the music etc. promoted this enterprise. I wasn't aware of these large operations abroad.This one seems to be a for Waltzer Lovers only program.

Can anybody tell me why this is, and more importantly, any ideas for improving the situation(s)?

I must admit it is impressive how he made the blend of American and classical European music with this hoard of singers and his violin orchestra and a full house of people joining in.Did you still get to the Walz?
