"Every night my orchestra and I see people dancing and singing in the aisles, enthusiastic and carefree," Rieu said. "Together we spend evenings that we do not forget. When people write to tell me that they need two-weeks to come down after my concerts, it makes me the happiest man in the world!”
Along with his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra, Rieu has created a global revival in waltz music.
