André Rieu Is The Main Event On Saturday…

André Rieu fans will get a chance to see the violinist starting from tomorrow night when he kicks off his Australian tour at Melbourne’s Telstra Dome. The Dutch composer’s tour is well known for its 7 tonne stage which requires reinforcing in the Telstra Dome car park below the ground, and if 7 tonnes of stage wasn’t enough well there is a second stage set currently being set-up in Adelaide for the next set of concerts.

With Rieu in the country and his enormous popularity the television networks have gone into overdrive with the reports and cross promotion, in particular the Nine Network. Monday morning a free concert was held at Melbourne’s Federation Square for the Today show, as well as this Nine News in particular featured a story about the composer on tonight’s bulletin.

Subscribers of pay TV through Foxtel, Austar and Optus are able to watch Saturday night’s concert live from Melbourne on pay per view channel Main Event. It will set you back $24.95 to view the concert, but if you ask me you are better off waiting for the DVD to come out.

Over the next three night’s I will attempt to get some photos of the stage at Telstra Dome as well as I’m hoping to get a look at the reinforcement of the car park as seen in the story above, and will post my findings when I can.
