Andre Rieu 2026 Summer Concert: Viva Maastricht at Arc Cinema Ennis

What to Expect

Andre Rieu’s annual summer concert from the Vrijthof square in Maastricht is filmed each year and released to cinemas, and the 2026 edition, Viva Maastricht, comes to Arc Cinema Ennis for a single afternoon screening on Sunday 16 August. The concert is performed by Rieu with the Johann Strauss Orchestra, the large touring ensemble he founded, and the format mixes waltzes and light classical repertoire with popular songs, guest vocalists and the audience singalongs that have become part of the Maastricht event.

The cinema presentation runs long by concert film standards, with the Ennis screening scheduled from 2:15pm to 5:35pm, so allow for a full afternoon including an interval. Screenings of this kind are event cinema rather than standard releases, which means the ticket price is set separately from the cinema’s usual admission and the film is not held over for a general run. The afternoon slot draws an older audience in most Irish towns and the Maastricht films regularly outsell mainstream releases on the day they screen, so booking ahead is sensible rather than turning up on spec.
