JoMa’s DoMe

When looking to the TV, I saw on the local TV channels the interview with André Rieu and his son Pierre.

Obviously the conversation with Pierre is more about the technical part.

The interview with André is way longer…
The things he said were about the show, recalling a problem of last year and comparing it with now, how the stage will be build and more stuff.

Some people think that this year the show is not as good as last year. Most point to the camera’s that were present last year, and now there are not as many camera’s.
Some think that the show will be similar as last year (even somebody who supposed to sell the tickets said that to me… imagine that!).
André said in the interview that these persons are wrong… He said: “If the shows would be the same or less spectecular than another show, the show is not good.”
He shurely does want to give a good show to the people.

The problem last year, was about building up the stage and removing it after the concert. The trucks were to heavy and damaged the ground of the Vrijthof. Beneath the Vrijthof is a parking, which has been remade not too long ago.
It would seem that this year the same problem is there again. Yet they will not get any problem with it. The gouvenerment of this town sees that it is not a good ground, so other solutions will be figured out.

In the interview he mentioned the stage. It was build by a company, which had to quit. So André bought the stage.
“I am the proud owner of a lot metal.” he said and started to laugh.
