André Rieu: Under the Stars - Live In Maastricht V

Once again André Rieu transformed the Vrijthof square in his hometown Maastricht into a grand, romantic open-air concert hall with room for about ten thousand people for his traditional summer evening concerts. A colourful concert with over two hours of beautiful melodies, Rieu's sopranos Mirusia Louwerse and Kimmy Skota, the Platin Tenors and several guest artists in a romantic summer evening setting. One of the stunning spectacles of the night is soprano soloist, Mirusia Louwerse, performing Mary Poppins' “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” and flying through the air, high above the wonder-struck audience. Oscar-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins and his wife flew in a private jet to Maastricht to attend the concerts. The Hollywood-based star is a great admirer of André Rieu and wrote a piece called “And the Waltz Goes On” especially with Rieu in mind. André Rieu recorded it earlier in 2011 and performed it in Maastricht for the first time to such a large crowd. “Under the Stars – Live in Maastricht V” contains 24 tracks and guest appearances by the South African Soweto Gospel Choir, The Harlem Gospel Choir, the St. Petersburg Trio and local act Ziesjoem.
