“Shall We Dance” also includes beloved Italian favourites like Volare, Funiculì, funiculà, the majestic Concierto de Aranjuez and Ode to Joy as well as the Platin Tenors moving dedication to Notre Dame de Paris with Au fond du Temple Saint from the opera The Pearl Fishers. Marvel at the glorious voices of international famed sopranos performing the deeply touching On My Own from Les Misérables, Ebben ne andrò lontana from La Wally or Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. Loose yourself in the romance of The Lonely Shepherd, enjoy the fun of orchestra members competing against each other on their instruments during Circus Renz, join the pianist tap dancing on the piano to Tutti Frutti and Samba into the night with Marina.

The DVD also marks André Rieu's 100th concert on the Vrijthof including a very special and moving award ceremony by the Mayor of Maastricht to the city's most beloved inhabitant, André Rieu.
