Chapeau Magazine, December 1st, 2020. Author: Jo Cortenraedt. Watch André Rieu on the Vrijthof online during Christmas No Christmas concerts this year by André Rieu in the MECC in Maastricht, but fans from all over the world can watch a special compilation of all the highlights of his Vrijthof concerts from the past 15 years. The 150-minute film will be shown online via a streaming service. The cost of a ticket is € 12.50. André: “It is the first time that we have done this. Who knows, we may still earn a little with this, to limit this year’s damage to some extent.” The film will be offered for two weeks during the Christmas period via André Rieu's website: starting December 19, 2020 to January 3rd 2021. The Maastricht orchestra leader hopes he will be able to tour again with his orchestra in the spring of 2021, now that the first vaccines against corona will shortly be on the market. “The first concerts in Germany have been rescheduled, but just maybe the USA could happen in March or the UK in April. In any case, I assume the summer concerts on the Vrijthof will take place, which is quite necessary. And without restrictions, because when people at my concerts have to sit at a distance of 1,5 meter (five feet) from each other, that does not work. That is also not financially viable. I remain optimistic that it is going to work. Tickets are already being sold, but many people are still waiting of course until the restrictive measures are lifted and that travel is possible again. Fortunately, the vaccinations start simultaneously in many countries, so they should ensure a significant improvement in the whole situation. ”
