Someone! - Anyone! Fly me there tonight!
Ok, so realistically- I will be watching Andre Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra performing on NBC's TODAY show (tomorrow - Wednesday 16 June 2010 @ 8:30am).
Andre Rieu is a Dutch composer who has been dubbed the King of Waltz. You can read about him and his life and accomplishments on his website (I have a link below)
A couple months ago I stumbled upon a video of him and his girls doing the traditional Klompen Dance (also linked below). I continued onto his website and after seeing a few more videos, signed up for his newsletter. The very next day, I got an email announcing the tour he would be doing in America and the stop in Seattle! Yay!
His Seattle date is on 6 December 2010 at Key Arena. I'm hoping to acquire tickets to that show. If anyone I know would like to go with me, maybe we could get a group of us together... (there is a 8 ticket per household limit)... Let me know soon if you are interested.
Tickets range from around $50-$150 for just the tickets to the show. There's also The Waltz package for $300 (Package includes one Premium seat located within rows 2-5, and an Exclusive ANDRE RIEU merchandise item). Then there is The Andre Rieu Experience for around $1500 (Package includes one Premium seat located within rows 1-2, Invitation to afterparty with ANDRE RIEU and performers, Photo with ANDRE RIEU, Access to soundcheck, Buffet dinner, Exclusive ANDRE RIEU merchandise item, Autographed program book, Onsite event management staff, and VIP entrance and parking (where available))
Go to the Andre Rieu site
...I was just exploring his site again and found a recipe section! ...and his son is a painter!
I hope I'll be able to see him in December. I think this is all I can say now without sounding like an Andre Rieu nut.
Here's the video that started this section of my exploration... enjoy!
