André Rieu
& his Johann Strauss Orchestra
Introducing the spring UK tour 2024
The Waltz King of Europe is returning to the UK with his Orchestra to perform in spring 2024 at the SSE Arena in Belfast, the Wembley OVO Arena in London, the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool and the First Direct Arena in Leeds.
Alternatively, you may wish to make your own travel arrangements to and from the hotel and therefore our ‘make-your-own-way’ breaks to Liverpool, plus two brand-new options for 2024 to Leeds and London are ideal for you.
Acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest living musical legends, Dutch-born André Rieu was classically trained and is now an accomplished violinist, an excellent conductor and a truly great showman. With his orchestra, choir and soloists, he brings a delightful and innovative approach to his concerts, recreating the atmosphere of 19th-century Viennese Dance Halls. Rapt audiences sway with the music, hum along and even dance in the aisles – it all happens! During the concert, you’ll hear music from across André’s repertoire, it will be a wonderful not-to-be-missed experience.
Whichever break you choose, please reserve your place(s) early to avoid disappointment.
In this brochure, you’ll find details of our popular concert packages to Belfast flying from eight regional airports.
Travel by air or ‘make-your-own-way’ inclusive breaks available We’re delighted to offer our concert package options to see the great man perform in four destinations. Travel packages include flights (excluding Liverpool, Leeds and London breaks), three nights’ bed and breakfast, guided tours, a seat to watch the Waltz King for an unforgettable night and the chance to explore a city.
