New show “Long live Maastricht!” is a joyful tribute to Maestro's hometown, where it all began. 20 years ago André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra performed for the first time at the Vrijthof. The medieval square then turned into a gleaming open-air ballroom. The audience listened to the first concert of its kind, all under the summer sky, strewn with twinkling stars. The success was incredible, especially since the whole thing was rebroadcast to cinemas. Now the waltz “On the Beautiful Blue Danube” and “Radetzky's March” will sound to audiences around the world for the twentieth time
