Eye Cinema to live-screen André Rieu’s hometown concert

Two André Rieu concerts, which are being held in the Dutch city of Maastricht at the weekend, will be screened live in Galway’s Eye Cinema, this Saturday, July 28, at 7pm and on Sunday at 3pm. The Eye is one of more than 2,000 cinemas worldwide screening what’s being billed as ‘a celebration of love from the King of Waltz’. Amore, My Tribute to Love is the renowned violinist’s tribute to music and his two families. The first family is his wife and children, and the second is the Johann Strauss Orchestra, with which he has performed for more than 30 years. This weekend’s concerts follow the release last year of the album Amore, which features Rieu’s versions of classic love songs, spanning popular and classical music. His annual concerts in the medieval square of his hometown of Maastricht, attract thousands of fans.
