For André Rieu Kraków 9 May 2026 tickets on TikTik — starting from €203.
André Rieu is a Dutch violinist and conductor who turned classical music into one of the best-selling family shows in the world. He was born on 4 November 1949 in Maastricht, Netherlands, and leads the Johann Strauss Orchestra since 1987. To date he has sold over 40 million albums (TAURON Arena Kraków, 2026), and draws over 700,000 fans a year across 80+ shows around the world (TAURON Arena Kraków, 2026).
He is called the "King of the Waltz" — and rightly so. Rieu took a genre considered distant and elitist and turned it into a celebration: dazzling costumes, dancing among the audience, a playing Stradivarius violin, and orchestra members who "live" the music on stage. His latest album, The Sound of Heaven, includes works by Händel, Lloyd Webber and Puccini, including Phantom of the Opera (TAURON Arena Kraków, 2026).
Many Israelis know André Rieu from the screen — but seeing him live is a completely different experience. The TAURON Arena Kraków is one of the most modern and impressive venues in Poland, and with ~60-70 musicians on stage (andrerieu.com: 70; TAURON Arena: 60), the visual-musical effect is simply breathtaking.

An André Rieu show is not a "classical concert." It's a spectacle. Rieu and his orchestra arrive with dazzling costumes, set design, lighting, and often — actors, dancers and sopranos performing on stage. About 25 songs on average (setlist.fm, 2025) are heard at each show, over about 2 hours 35 minutes (setlist.fm, OVO Wembley 2025).
Expected repertoire:
What sets Rieu apart from every other conductor: he doesn't just stand on stage and conduct. He talks to the audience, tells jokes, and invites people from the crowd to dance on stage. "The Blue Danube" isn't just played — it comes alive. Elderly couples in the audience get up to dance. Children add rhythm. There's no "sit quietly and listen" here — there's a celebration.
Rieu's latest album, The Sound of Heaven, includes works by Händel, Lloyd Webber, Puccini and Phantom of the Opera (TAURON Arena Kraków, 2026) — it can be expected that some of the new pieces will appear in the program.
