World-famous violinist André Rieu is set to bring his Christmas concert to cinemas this December.
Rieu’s annual festive show, Gold and Silver, will be screened in more than 500 cinemas across the UK, launching on December 7.
The concert, filmed in Rieu’s hometown of Maastricht, is designed to capture the warmth and spirit of the holiday season on the big screen.
Presented by Piece of Magic Entertainment, the concert hall is turned into a winter wonderland, complete with 150 chandeliers, 50 Venetian candelabras, and an ice rink.
Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra will perform a range of Christmas classics and carols, including Jingle Bells, Ave Maria, Silent Night, Hallelujah, and Sleigh Ride.
The concert will also feature special performances by young singer Emma Kok, who will sing Voilá and All I Want For Christmas.
Presenter Charlotte Hawkins will provide viewers with a behind-the-scenes look, including an interview with Rieu about the creation of his winter wonderland and a tour of the indoor Christmas market.
Rieu said: "Christmas holds a special magic for me—a time to share the love and beauty of music while creating memories that last a lifetime.
"Music has the unique ability to bring people together, and during the holiday season, this becomes even more meaningful.
"Christmas is about more than just the festivities; it’s a time for connection, for gathering with friends and family, and for celebrating the moments that bind us.
"At its heart, Christmas reminds us of the importance of being together.
"In a world that often feels busy and fast-paced, the season offers us a moment to pause, reflect, and cherish the relationships that matter most.
"Music has the power to transcend words and touch our hearts in ways that remind us of the love we share with those around us.
"I hope Gold & Silver brings a little of that magic to your holiday season!"
Rieu is renowned worldwide for his joyful and inclusive concerts and has become one of the most beloved classical music performers.
His festive concerts have become a much-anticipated tradition for many around the globe.
Gold and Silver is designed to be more than just a concert; it’s an invitation to celebrate the magic of music during the holiday season.
