An audio and visual treat for the soul…
Love a spot of classical music? We’re letting you know well in advance that violinist and conductor André Rieu will be performing in Abu Dhabi in 2024.
The award-winning performer will be making his debut in Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena on Saturday, March 9, 2024 as part of his World Tour. Ticket prices start from Dhs215 and can be purchased here.
Expect to be teleported with Rieu’s enchanting melodies as he leads his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra, chorus and many international soloists in a repertoire that spans classical masterpieces to waltzes, show tunes and songs from film, opera and musicals.
Speaking about his World Tour, Rieu stated, “Emotions are the key! When a piece of music touches my heart, I know it will touch your heart, too. I am very much looking forward to coming to Abu Dhabi next year with my Johann Strauss Orchestra, choir and many international soloists.”
He added, “I hope to see you all singing and dancing in the aisles! Much love!” With music like the ones in the above video, if we’re not dancing in the aisles, we will most certainly be swaying and head bobbing in our seats.
