Elshout and his wife are delighted by Rieu and keep a fan site about him. What's so nice with Rieu? "It's a fun and exciting music, many people find it very nice, and are willing to go on long trips."
He tells that during concerts he meets people from all over the world, for example from Tasmania, New Zealand, but also Brazil. "We are doing the opposite, we are traveling behind Rieu and have been with him in Canada and Australia and last year in America."
This "Madness Rieu" lasts for more than fifteen years and now famous Dutch concert conductor and violinist himself beyond the age of retirement. Although it does not seem that he will soon stop, Elshout hopes that Rieu will continue for a while. "Every member of the orchestra can be missed, except Andrew, when he stops, it's over."
Good for Maastricht
In the radio show With the Eye of Tomorrow the Mayor of Maastricht, Annemarie Penn-te Strake, as the city waits for eleven thousand visitors by day. "At the Vrijthof there is room for 8000 people, but in the streets around the square there are also 3000 people on the terraces."
The concert series is lucrative for the municipality. The mayor expects that each action generates about one million euros for the city, bringing the total to around 13 million.
Rieu is the best ambassador you can wish for, says Penn-te Strake. "Wherever André comes from, and it's in many places, people talk about Maastricht, Maastricht, Maastricht, which is for us a free publicity."
Maastricht and the fans of Rieu are ready for the show of their idol.
