Day 2: André Rieu concert

In the evening, enjoy the magnificent concert by André Rieu. Few violinists manage to captivate such a broad audience and fill concert halls like the Dutchman. Be enchanted by a splendid palace with a red carpet, Venetian chandeliers, Christmas scenes, snow, two ice rinks and beautiful winter landscapes. On arrival, a brass band playing wonderful Christmas music and actors in Charles Dickens costumes will welcome you and set the mood for the three-hour Christmas concert. Splendid carols, romantic waltzes and beautiful songs from around the world, such as Jingle Bells, Ave Maria, O Holy Night, Hallelujah, Sleigh Ride and many more, will immerse you in the festive atmosphere. A unique Christmas experience at the MECC event hall in Maastricht.
