With more than 40 million albums sold, over 500 platinum awards, nearly 10 million Facebook followers, billions of views on YouTube and more than half a million viewers worldwide every year, the charismatic violinist is undoubtedly one of the most successful artists in the world.
Audiences will be treated to an enchanting evening of timeless classics from opera, musicals and operettas, as well as beautiful film scores, popular tunes and, of course, romantic waltzes, all with Rieu's unique charm. During the evening, the Johann Strauss Orchestra will guide the audience through the world of music and dance. Renowned for their humour, lavish costumes, stunning sets and mesmerising lighting, the performances will appeal to all ages. Each concert is a unique work of art, with the violinist always bringing a surprise to the audience in that country, bringing the performance even closer to the audience.

The 2025 concert in Budapest will be part of André Rieu's packed tour, which will take in countries across Europe including Germany, the UK, Ireland, the Czech Republic and special venues such as Bahrain and Malta. André Rieu not only brings a stunning musical experience to every concert, but to ensure he is perfectly prepared, he is accompanied on tour by three chefs, a doctor and a fitness trainer. Rieu's famous Johann Strauss Orchestra, the world's largest private orchestra, creates an unforgettable atmosphere with every performance.
MVM Dome
MVM Dome is the seventh largest indoor event venue in Europe. Its capacity for sports events and concerts is significantly higher than that of the Budapest Sports Arena. It has 20,022 seats; a total of 50,000 square metres of floor space; innovative, rearrangeable spaces for many indoor sports (handball, basketball and volleyball, futsal, ice hockey, tennis, skating) as well as certain athletic, equestrian and motorcycle competitions, and even swimming competitions and water polo matches in the mobile pool. Through the six entrances to the building, spectators can enter the arena’s interior using eight escalators, leading to the walk-through grandstands accessible on three levels. The structure of the building’s exterior is reminiscent of muscle fibres: the light strips placed on the outward-leaning, elliptical sections not only embrace the building, but the light shows, programmed using various colours, appear to set the entire building in motion. There is a 600 square metre display on the façade of the building. The Main Entrance leads to an impressive foyer, where visitors will be greeted by a grandiose hanging light installation of 848 handmade glass tubes. The programmable sports lighting is also suitable for HDTV broadcasts of the highest-level world competitions, as well as for super-slow-motion recordings due to flicker free technology. The lighting system also plays an important role in the events and concerts, as it is suitable for changing the colour temperature of the auditorium, which means that the lighting functions can be changed without rearranging the arena, only through the pre-programmed lighting controls. This design is the first and is unique in Europe for luminaires of this power. A central display (cube) provides information in the auditorium during the events.
