2010-09-22

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, September 22, 2010 (Press-News.org) Lovers of classical music are sure to enjoy watching Andre Rieu in action as the iconic violinist, composer and conductor brings his Celebration of Music Tour to Melbourne.

The artist will be taking to the stage at the Rod Laver Arena on October 16th and 17th 2010, backed by the Johann Strauss Orchestra.

Furthermore, local favourites and stars of the 1960s The Seekers - who rose to prominence with a string of pop-influenced hits such as Georgy Girl - will be reforming especially for the occasion.

Visit Victoria have been gushing in their praise for Rieu, describing him as "one of the world's most gifted and enigmatic performers".

This recommendation could encourage people planning a stay in Melbourne hotels in October to book tickets for the show and watch the maestro in action.

People who are fortunate enough to get their hands on passes for one of the two performances are likely to be treated to masterful versions of some of Strauss's most famous works, including The Blue Danube, Tales from the Vienna Woods and Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka.

Tickets are available for between A$89 and A$249, depending on the seating.

The October 16th concert starts at 20:00 local time, with the following day's show commencing at 18:00.
