I am an Andre Rieu fan, big time. His show is on my "Bucket List" but I doubt that will ever come true, unless I hit the lottery. He and his musician thoroughly enjoy what they are doing. They don't quietly walk in and take their seats, they march and dance in, instant love. His venues are enormous and he plays all over the world.
I must admit, I do not want to see his show here in the USA. I have watched many of his tapes, often. He, the band, his singers, the musicians the audience, ALL have much more fun and enjoyment, abroad. The Brazil audience was spectacular. I think, as an American, we think WE are the only country. It is difficult for us to imagine any other country being ... normal .... they are all primitive and backward. The American audience basically sat on their hands, some showed some emotion. In Brazil, they ALL had fun, sang, danced, cried, applauded.
His show brings out every emotion known to man. His website alone is in six languages. He is going to be in Brazil in October, would love to see his show, just gotta hit the lottery.
I don't know how you would categorize his show, other than pure, unadulterated entertainment. I cannot imagine the logistics involved in moving his shows around the world. When you check out his website, listen to some of his music, you too, will become a fan.
