ONE of the most popular live acts in the world, the King of the Waltz, André Rieu has announced that his 2018 Maastricht concerts will be screened via satellite in over 500 cinemas nationwide across the weekend of July 28-28, as he performs his hometown shows this year.

‘Amore - My Tribute to Love’, is the renowned violinist’s tribute to his love for music, and his love for both of his families; his wife and children, and his Johann Strauss Orchestra, who he has performed with for over 30 years. It follows on from the release of his album ‘Amore’ last year, which features his own versions of classic love songs from the worlds of popular and classical music.

Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins hosts the concert presentation, interviewing fans and sharing the joyous atmosphere that bursts right through the cinema screen – as well as catching André for an exclusive chat the moment he steps off stage.

On welcoming cinemagoers across the UK to his hometown of Maastricht for ‘Amore, My Tribute to Love’, André said: “To be able to bring the concert from my beautiful hometown of Maastricht direct to cinemas for my fans in the UK every year is such a thrill! My orchestra and I get so excited about our romantic open-air shows, it’s just magical to bring it to the big screen.

"Music is, as they say, the food of love! That is what this show is all about, all types of love. So, we thought what a wonderful way it would be to celebrate this with my British fans than to invite them to submit their dedications for their loved ones, which I shall read out before a very special song in Maastricht that they will see wherever they may be watching across the UK."

‘Amore - My Tribute to Love’ will be shown at Mold's Theatr Clwyd,Wrexham's Eagles Meadow Odeon and Cineworld, Broughton. For more information go to www.andreincinemas.com
