Together with his Johann Strauss Orchestra, soloists and choir, André performs 26 holiday classics in his snowy, beautifully decorated garden and Saint Pieter Church across the street from his home.
"Home for Christmas" includes special guest performances by The Royal Choir Society Mastreechter Staar, The Sjamaes Children's Choir and 10 year old ballerina Rosa. The romantic celebration of Christmas, ranges from Christmas classics to emotional ballads.
André commented, "I would never be away from my family around Christmas – especially now since I can enjoy the glowing faces of my grandchildren and their excitement when they see the Christmas tree and the gifts waiting underneath. I travel around the world for the whole year working hard to bring music and joy to my audiences and fans but I am always home for Christmas".
Exclusively for cinemas, André Rieu will take part in a live satellite Q&A and conversation with his fans across the UK and Europe, before introducing Home for Christmas. This very special event will be hosted by Charlotte Hawkins, and will give fans a chance to interact with the ‘King of Waltz’ like never before.
Rieu's celebration of Christmas is just what you need to get into the festive spirit.
