About This Event

André Rieu and his 60-strong Johann Strauss Orchestra bring their annual summer extravaganza to the big screen at the Phoenix Theatre in Blyth. Filmed against the fairy-tale backdrop of the Vrijthof square in Rieu's beloved home city of Maastricht, 'Viva Maastricht!' captures the sparkle, spectacle and sheer joy of one of the world's most popular live concert experiences.\n\nExpect a heady mix of soaring waltzes, well-loved classics, popular songs and show-stopping surprises, all delivered with the warmth, humour and showmanship that have made André Rieu a global phenomenon. It is an ideal outing for anyone who loves a grand night of music without the trip to the Netherlands.\n\nThe filmed concert screens at the Phoenix Theatre on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August 2026.
