André Rieu at Sheffield Utilita Arena: Full information including door open times, last-minute tickets

Violin legend André Rieu is set to perform in front of his fans this weekend in Sheffield. The world renowned Dutch violinist, who is best known for creating the waltz-playing Johann Straus Orchestra, last year performed in Central Europe to South America, as well as Eastern Europe and Israel.

This time around, the chart-topping 73-year-old will tour the UK, beginning with a two-day visit to London in April and concluding in late June in Liverpool. Since 1975, Rieu, one of the most successful violinists and conductors in the world, has toured with his beloved orchestra, regarded as the biggest private orchestra in the world.

And his recent Christmas album ‘Silver Bells’ charted in the top 5 in the UK, making it his 16th album to chart within the top 10 in this country, with total sales of over 40 million albums globally. André also topped the box office with his cinema event ‘Live in Dublin’.

Following his UK tour, Rieu’s Johann Strauss Orchestra will head to the US in the Autumn. Below is everything you need to know about his concert in Sheffield, ticket sales and other venues where he will be performing in the UK.

He said: “Everybody is welcome to my concerts. We open our hearts for the audience and the audience opens their hearts for us. Every night my orchestra and I see people dancing and singing in the aisles, enthusiastic and carefree.

“Together we spend evenings that we do not forget. When people write to me that they need two weeks to come down after my concerts, it makes me the happiest man in the world!”
