Renowned Dutch violinist André Rieu will return to Budapest for an extraordinary concert, leading the world-famous Johann Strauss Orchestra. Set to take place at the MVM Dome in November 2025, the performance will feature several internationally acclaimed soloists, promising an unforgettable event.
André Rieu, a longtime favourite of Hungarian audiences, is coming back to Budapest with an impressive show, Travelo reports. With over 40 million albums sold, more than 500 platinum awards, nearly 10 million followers on Facebook, and billions of views on YouTube, Rieu remains one of the most successful performers globally, attracting over half a million concertgoers annually.
“Rieu’s popularity in Hungary is undeniable, which is why tickets for his November concert sold out in no time,” stated Roland Horváth, CEO of Koncertpromo, the company organising the event.
Due to the overwhelming demand—and much to the delight of his fans—Rieu has agreed to return next year, and he has a surprise in store for the Hungarian audience, according to the event’s main organiser.
Attendees can look forward to another enchanting evening, featuring timeless classics from opera, musicals, and light operas, along with beautiful film scores, popular tunes, and of course, Rieu’s signature romantic waltzes. The performance will be enhanced with lavish costumes and stunning visual effects, offering a magical experience that transcends generations.

All the 70 plus year old Hungarian women are going to be in heat when handsome Dutchman Rieu shows up in Budapest. We used to watch his specials around Christmas with my mother. He is undeniably popular and I am sure it will be a great show.
Concur – Larry.
Decades have past, that the handful of his concerts I have watched globally – the “message” – the tone(s) of his concerts has STRONG adrenaline – to draw you out off what may or may not be HAPPENING in your life, and take you to “another” place reminiscent possible / maybe of a Xanadu.
We spent (3) three days in Andre Rieu muchly loved beautiful Maastricht, Netherlands few months back.
My “partner in crime” of 40 years, had worked in Maastricht for (9) nine months in the early 2000’s.
I did not for professional reasons visit at that time, nor in the years since, in our retirement years, living in Central Europe.
Maastricht is a “joyous” place to visit.
I was surprised the Central town square of Maastricht, that Rieu, uses, fills to overflow for his concerts in his “place of birth” city – Maastricht in 1949 – doing well is Andre, its “smallish” size.
Television – does paint strange pictures images in our minds at times.
It was delightful to stand in the center of this “Famous” – historic square in Maastricht and just momentarily THINK, the “joys in life” – through Andre Rieu, throughout his illustrious career, what through his TALENTS he has shared given to millions of humans universally.
I remember decade past, one of the “handful” I have watched of his concerts, this one ironically, from Maastricht, Netherlands, the English tenor – Russell Watson, sing the Italian song – Volare meaning translated to English – “To Fly”.
In my youth it was at the time of its release one of my favourite songs, especially “schooling” with numbers of Italians.
The audience absolutely encapsulated in Russell Watsons glorious rendition of the song – joining in and requesting, a repeat of the last verse of this JOYOUS song.
Ironically, recent time, dining on a beautiful evening, outside, in the place, the city – that is our home District V – being in beautiful Budapest, Hungary, an outside television DV player, the version on film was played, by the original Italian singer performing on an American nightly television show -the Ed Sullivan Show – in “black & white” – Volare.
It “Moved Me”.
In my “gloaming years” little difference in Rieu age to mine – I may concert with him in Budapest, Hungary as I’m sure millions of Hungarians rightfully WILL.
St Augustine – did tell us, title of my commentary.
