Two Spanish concerts. February 2022: Madrid and Barcelona.

Looking back at the Spanish concerts. André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra were not allowed to perform during almost two years, due to the worldwide corona (Covid-19) pandemic. On 1,2,3,4, December 2021 he started the first four sold out concerts in Lisbon, Portugal. The year 2022 started with two more sold out concerts in Spain: in Madrid and Barcelona. The audience was still obliged to wear face masks. For the year to come we all hope that he can continue to tour the world. On this page we show some impressions and Facebook pictures of the concerts in Spain.

Especially for Valentine's Day, the world-famous violinist and orchestra leader André Rieu had himself photographed in sunny Barcelona in front of the imposing basilica Sagrada Familia with a huge heart in his hands. It was a busy week for André Rieu in Spain. The "Waltz King" played for two sold-out concerts in Madrid and Barcelona. No less than 27,000 concert goers were treated to romantic sounds because of Valentine's Day. The fans reacted exuberantly to the return of the Dutch orchestra leader. Being pampered According to the violinist and orchestra leader of the Johann Strauss Orchestra, today it is the day when lovers can pamper each other somewhat extra. The maestro is also shining again after a difficult period. After countless cancellations over the past two years, including his recent Christmas concerts in the MECC, it l looked bleak for all. "I have always remained optimistic and knew that one day we would perform again," he emphasized earlier to Telegraaf/Privé. In the meantime, the iconic Limburger longs for the concerts on his Maastricht Vrijthof which will be held this summer and where amongst others, he can also meet his Dutch fans again.

Summer. This year it will be happening again. After two years of absence, he will perform fifteen concerts from 7 to 30 July 2022 on the famous square in the heart of Maastricht. "I am so happy that we can play on the Vrijthof again this summer. My orchestra, our choir, all the soloists and myself, are all so very happy that we can finally celebrate the return of music on stage again", says the proud Maastricht native.
