NTSC/Region 0.
On a beautiful Melbourne evening in November 2008, an audience of nearly 40,000 witnessed the show of a lifetime. André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra, together with the Imperial Ballet of Vienna, Tanzschule Elmayer, Stars on Ice and the Australian Federal Police Pipe and Drum Band and friends brought Vienna to Australia.
Against the spectacular backdrop of the Schönbrunn Palace, André, his musicians and his entourage entertained the audience with gems from the Austrian capital as well as a host of popular melodies from his 'second home', Australia.

Summary: another winner!
Comment: His music always seems to fit the mood, some..like his Xmas DVD was rather solemn but the New Years one was hilarious. His ability to mix the music and bring the audience in with him is one of his great talents. You feel YOU are part of the concert, not just sitting there. Even watching the DVD, you still feel that specialness of being THERE. Living in a smaller town where there is limited music for us to enjoy, this is the perfect answer to getting our senses cleansed.
I have ALL of his DVD's and everyone is different but yet..fit the settings, I would recommend them ALL to all music lovers.

Summary: Andre Rieu in Australia
Comment: I have several of Andre's performances and this one is the most spectacular of them all. There is a huge entertainment factor. Andre has gone from a basic orchestra show to one including several added performers and amazing backdrops. The reproduction of an Austrian castle was unbelievable. Andre always includes some local performers and traditions that get the audience deeply involved in his performance. This performance is one to see and hear. You will remember it for a long time.

Summary: Spectacular, yet upclose and personal
Comment: Andre Rieu is the showman of our generation. An "enormous" talent, as he so often praises his orchestra and soloists. You'll probably spend some time being astonished at the magnitude of this show. His early DVDs have the colorful performers and soft lighting on the stage, and as time progressed, Rieu has opted to "go for it," dreaming up even more elaborate locations and sets. Here, he duplicated the facade of a European castle, full size, where he'd performed before. Except he added two ice rinks and a ball room dance floor. The packed football stadium could take in the full scene or move in close to the action with the large TV screens.
There is a definite shift in Rieu DVDs between the before/after use of TV screens. IN the before, you'd see enthusiastic armwaving response from the first few dozen rows only, but here, the entire stadium is enthralled.
It was fun to see the tens of thousands singing along on unfamiliar Australian songs.
The performances are always first rate, many genuinely moving, but always done with an "even more surprises" attitude. Many who bemoan the fall of live classical music performances...and WHAT can be done?... can only look to Andre Rieu for the right direction. His orchestra is allowed to sway with the music, to look at each other with knowing glances and winks. There's one lame joke sequence about Hungarian goulash that can be scraped, but other than that, bring on the bagpipers. LOTS of them, of course. ;-)
