André Rieu will perform in 2026 in more than 20 European countries, with 30+ shows from May to November — from Maastricht to Warsaw, from London to Belgrade (André Rieu Press Room, 2026). The Johann Strauss Orchestra, numbering 50-60 musicians (Classic FM, 2024), has built one of the biggest concert series in the classical world. On TikTik, tickets for the Erfurt and Leipzig shows are available from €233 — and once the show fills up, you won't find them anywhere else.
This isn't just a concert. This is Rieu — the man who has sold more than 40 million albums (Classic FM, 2024), who has drawn tens of thousands of people to the Vrijthof square in the heart of Maastricht, and who competes successfully with AC/DC and Bruce Springsteen for the number of tickets sold for a tour (Classic FM, 2024). The Dutch violinist, born 1 October 1949 (Wikipedia, 2024), founded the Johann Strauss Orchestra in 1987 with just 12 musicians (Wikipedia, 2024). Today it's the largest private orchestra in the world — funded and run entirely by Rieu himself (Classic FM, 2024). He plays a Stradivarius violin from 1667 (Classic FM, 2024).
The 2026 tour spans three continents: Europe, North America and Australia (André Rieu, 2026). In Europe — 30+ shows from May to November. As of April 2026, demand for tickets is especially high for the Maastricht dates and for Germany.

Anyone expecting a regular "classical concert" will be surprised. Rieu has turned "classical" into a full emotional experience. The show includes 50-60 musicians from the orchestra (Classic FM, 2024), guest soloists, spectacular costumes, and sometimes stage effects like artificial snow and dramatic lighting. The repertoire moves seamlessly from Johann Strauss waltzes, through film music, opera arias, and folk compositions that bring the whole hall together as one (andrerieu.com, 2026).
The audience's favorite moments: when Rieu plays Strauss's "The Blue Danube" alone, and when the dancers in silver dresses start dancing among the musicians. Typical show length: about 2.5 hours (Songkick, 2026). More about the show — the official André Rieu website. Full music packages with hotel and flight
To Germany (Erfurt/Leipzig) — the most convenient way is via Frankfurt or Berlin. El Al and Wizz Air operates direct flights to Berlin and Frankfurt, and from there about a 2-hour train ride to the show cities (about 3.5-4 hours total from Israel). A direct flight to Frankfurt averages about €180-250 round-trip (Wizz Air, 2026).
to Germany allows for a day trip — the flight arrives in the morning, the concert is in the evening at 20:00, and you return the next day. You can also combine it with a local stay for a fuller experience. Tip: Leipzig is a charming city with a rich musical history — the home of Bach and Mendelssohn. Tickets for music shows abroad
