His dream now achieved of bringing classical music to the people, here is Andre’s story. This documentary is a testimony to his vision and a showcase of the music and performances that have made his success.
With exciting stories about the real life that goes on behind the scenes, this series gives a colourful impression of the months of preparation that went into André Rieu’s concert in New York. Every aspect is covered – the travelling and fun times on the way, but also the sadness and emotions, what is really involved in organising a concert like this, what the orchestra eats, where they stay, what André does in the daytime, do the soloists like going shopping, or do they prefer to surf the Internet? There are interviews with André himself, about his work, his private life and his plans for the future, plus interviews with his son Pierre, and with orchestra players, soloists, fans, and those who assisted with the tour.
This six-part half-hour series takes viewers behind the scenes of the Andre Rieu entourage, and includes his first visit to Australia and the lead up to his Wonderland Concert.

Ovation’s own arts guru Leo Schofield pays an exclusive visit to Andre Rieu at home in his hometown of Maastricht in The Netherlands. Andre takes viewers on tour through his extensive gardens that feature Australian plants, as well as his sanctuary. Inside his château, they look at Andre’s historical kitchen where he entertains his family; and where D'Artagnan of the Three Muskateers, ate his last breakfast before perishing in the Battle of Maastricht. Together they talk about Andre’s career, the trials and triumphs of touring and a love of bringing classical music to wider audiences. Against the spectacular backdrop of Andre’s home, this is a rare glimpse into the private life of one of the world’s most sensational performers.
