Andre Rieu


Yes, Andre arrived in Perth and put on quite a performance. Having watched quite a few of his DVD's, I knew what to expect but it was still a wonderful performance despite the difficulties with open air acoustics! Having listened to ( and watched ) orchestras over the years, it was pleasing to see musicians actually enjoy the music they played and also seen to be enjoying themselves. The three tenors in his show are superb and I am certain that all his orchestra are very talented musicians both with their chosen instruments and with other instruments as well. Andre gives you a show full of variety and the three hours was so full of entertainment that it went in a flash. Perhaps 6 encores was a little over-doing it but then it was really part of the show. It was forcast to rain in Perth but amazingly it was very calm and the rain arrived 20 minutes after the show ended. Impeccable timing Andre as always.
