André Rieu’s Christmas events are anticipated by many around the globe. A grand orchestra playing the season’s classical tunes, a stunning stage decorated in the festive spirit and music performances that charm worldwide audiences. This winter too, Rieu’s White Christmas concert recorded in his hometown of Maastricht will be broadcast live in Limassol as well.
“For many,” say organisers, “Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. This year it will come early with André Rieu’s cinema special White Christmas – a celebration you will never forget. From the first jingled bell, you will be immersed in the incomparable Christmas atmosphere of André’s winter wonderland. Marvel at the magnificently decorated Christmas palace, complete with snow, two ice rinks, gorgeous winter scenes, romantic lighting, a red carpet, countless lights, 150 beautiful chandeliers and over 50 Venetian candelabras.”
The broadcast will be screened at Rialto Theatre this Saturday at 7pm featuring plenty of timeless Christmas carols, romantic waltzes and beautiful songs from all over the world. Audiences will be able to witness the Johann Strauss Orchestra live to celebrate the season with beloved songs such as Jingle Bells, Ave Maria, Oh Holy Night, Hallelujah, Sleigh Ride and more.
What’s more, apart from the live recording of the concert, cinema audiences will also get to enjoy exclusive backstage access, as cinema host Charlotte Hawkins speaks with André about creating his musical winter wonderland.
