EXTRA dates have just been released to see Andre Rieu Maastricht Concerts on the big screen at the Regent in Christchurch on July 22-23, and August 16 to 'Celebrate 30 years of André and his Johann Strauss Orchestra’.

Having been ranked as No 1 out of 544 cinemas for attendance levels in the UK and Ireland for both the 2015 and 2016 Andre Rieu Maastricht Concerts by the promoters, CinemaLive, the Regent in Christchurch is already looking to its laurels and defending its title, by booking extra showings of Andre Rieu’s 2017 Maastricht Concert, which is now scheduled to be screened on Saturday, July 22, 7pm, Sunday, July 23, 3pm and Wednesday, August 16, 2pm and 7pm. The screenings are recorded by satellite for the big screen at the Regent.

Known to millions as ‘The King of Waltz’, André Rieu is one of the world’s most popular music artists. His legendary, annual Maastricht concert is the most eagerly anticipated cinema event of the year. Last year new box office records were set in several countries.

Set against the stunning medieval backdrop of the town square in André’s Dutch hometown, the spectacular Maastricht concert features the maestro in his element, along with his 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra, sopranos, tenors and very special guests. André delivers an unforgettable musical experience full of humor, fun and emotion for all ages.

This presentation of André Rieu’s 2017 Maastricht Concert at the Regent features host, Charlotte Hawkins, who conducts an interview with André Rieu the moment he steps off stage, exclusively for cinema audiences.

This year is a very special year because it is exactly 30 years ago that André Rieu started his Johann Strauss Orchestra in his home town of Maastricht. From a small group of musicians rehearsing in the classroom of André’s son’s primary school to stadiums and concert halls around the world - what a journey it has been!

Take a front row seat and experience this spectacular musical event on the big screen. Enjoy backstage access, interviews with André and his special guests, musical favourites and much, much more, exclusively for the cinema.
