(More customer reviews)After seeing André Rieu's "Live in Vienna" and thinking "it doesn't get any better than this, the World Music King pulls another one out of his hat! . It was not just excellent music - it was excellent entertainment - especially in the "Figaro" aria, where, by weaving in the comical "barber chair" segment, he turned what for some "modernists" was too "dated" a piece into an entertainment delight. Besides the orchestra doing their usual excellent job, the singers - both male and female - were superb, with the Platin Tenors's rendition of "E Lucevan le Stelle" perhaps the best that I have ever heard.
The whole program flowed seamlessly from start to finish, with the two themes (marriage and opera) combined cleverly and tastefully throughout the show; and nothing could have been a better backdrop for such than Dresden's beautiful Semperoperhaus. The mix of tunes, the costumery, and André's witty commentary made for a perfect blend; there wasn't a tedious moment in the whole program. I would recommend this DVD for not just for "André-philes" but for ANYONE.
