Gliwice, 14/05/2027
André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra bring their touring production to Arena Gliwice on Friday, 14 May 2027, sitting between stops in Łódź and Kraków on this stretch of the Polish tour. The concert starts at 20:00.
Gliwice, part of Poland’s densely populated Upper Silesian conurbation, gives Rieu’s tour access to one of the country’s largest urban regions in a single stop, drawing audiences from across the wider Katowice metropolitan area as well as the city itself.
Expect a programme moving between sweeping Strauss waltzes, operatic highlights, popular film themes and well-loved classics, staged with the elaborate costumes, lighting design and theatrical flourishes that have become the production’s trademark. Guest vocalists and instrumental soloists typically join the orchestra throughout the evening.
Arena Gliwice is one of the largest venues in Poland, with room for up to 17,000 spectators in its main hall, giving this touring production plenty of scale to work with.
Doors are expected to open roughly ninety minutes before the 20:00 start. The performance typically runs for about two and a half hours, including a 20-minute interval.
Gliwice’s compact historic centre and its position within easy reach of Katowice and the rest of Upper Silesia make it a convenient base for anyone extending the concert into a longer regional visit.
The Gliwice date sits in the middle of a short Polish run, following Łódź the day before, on 13 May, and continuing to Kraków on 15 May.
Tickets for Gliwice are available now, and given how quickly other stops on this tour have moved, early booking is worth considering for anyone hoping to see André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra live on 14 May.
