Christmas comes early this year for fans of one of the world's most popular performers: André Rieu will be touring South Africa for the first time!

André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra will kick off their South African tour at the Sun City Super Bowl on 24 April 2010 and will be staging shows in Durban and Cape Town.

Known as the King of Waltz,  André  performs in sold-out venues all over the world, and is the Number One Selling male performer of 2009.

The chart-topping Dutch violinist and conductor has sold close to 30 million albums globally,and has broken all classical concert records, packing stadiums with over 700,000 adoring fans each year. André Rieu is renowned for the uplifting and festive atmosphere at his concerts, as he encourages his audience to get out of their seats and waltz in the aisles.

"André Rieu is one of the entertainment world's truly unique performers and itis a great privilege to be partnering him on his first South African  tour. The Johann Strauss Orchestra and the numerous singers who will be accompanying the tour to South Africa will provide audiences with an entertainment experience never witnessed in this country before," says Sam Hendrikse, CEO of Hunta Live.

    Welcome to South Africa, Andre. Marjorie who is very prominent behind the scenes manages to remain a total mystery ,appearancewise. We are guessing she plays the cello or a clarinet .Would very much like to obtain a copy of your biography written by Marjorie but appears it is out of print. We will be seeking copy of the childrens book just released once it hits our shores . Your shows provide the greatest emotional contentment , a haven of peace . In my 75years I have not been lifted to such fulfilment as when watching your DVD's. Thank you for this .

    The fulfillment of a longing dream to come true! Have every one of your dvds in my collection and thought that I would have to travel to Europe to experience a concert in person. Even my grandchildren pick up your dvds in shops to show me as they recognize your picture. I have converted many people to love your music and feel a part of your family - music family. Every gift opportunity to a friend or family member - is an Andre Rieu music dvd. The music has become an inspiration for my work - playing into late night hours as I work in my study which is equipped with a wonderful sound system. An experience for the soul, inspiration for the heart, feast for the eyes and motivation for the brain to work! Thank you for your dedication and most especially for your own love of music which is transferred to all of us. We will not just welcome you to South Africa - we will love you into South Africa.

    Andre não vem ao Brasil porque é muito perigoso para ele e seus companheiros! E agora, na África do Sul?
