One of the world's most successful touring artists, Andre Rieu and CinemaLive are excited to announce that Andre's upcoming Sydney Acer Arena performance on Friday night will be broadcast for the very first time live, into the Astor Cinema Ararat from 8pm.

Andre is about to embark on what is sure to be another sold out Australian tour and wants to ensure that fans in regional Australia also get to experience his magnificent shows live and on the big screen.

Andre's incredible performance will leave you breathless, as he and his orchestra perform a beautiful selection of well known and timeless classics that you'll love and enjoy.

Known for his stagecraft and as an ambassador for classical music, Andre Rieu has been named the world's most successful male touring artist by Billboard Magazine. Andre's Australian tour last year was a sell out, with `Andre Rieu Live in Australia' DVD the fastest selling music DVD in Australian history. Andre considers Australia his second home and released a song earlier this year for the Red Cross to help raise money for Australian bushfire and flood victims.

CinemaLive is a new and innovative concept that connects your local cinema with live concerts and exclusive events from Australia and overseas.

CinemaLive presents Andre Rieu live on Friday October 16 at 8pm. Tickets are on sale for $40.
