Paris, 19/02/2027
André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra return to Paris’s Accor Arena on Friday, 19 February 2027, the night after a performance in Bordeaux, bringing the tour’s grand orchestral production to the French capital. The concert begins at 20:00.
Paris has been a regular stop for Rieu over the years, and the city’s appetite for large-scale orchestral entertainment shows little sign of slowing down. The show’s mix of sweeping waltzes and theatrical spectacle draws a broad audience well beyond typical classical concertgoers, and a Paris date tends to attract visitors from across the country and beyond.
The evening’s programme is expected to move between grand Strauss waltzes, operatic highlights, popular film themes and well-loved classics, staged with elaborate costumes, lighting design and the theatrical flourishes that have become the production’s trademark. Guest vocalists and instrumental soloists typically feature throughout.
Accor Arena, long known to Parisians simply as Bercy, is the largest indoor venue in France, with a concert capacity of around 20,300. Its distinctive grass-covered sloping exterior has made it a Paris landmark since it opened in the 1980s, and it remains the default home for the biggest touring productions passing through the city.
Doors are expected to open roughly ninety minutes before the 20:00 start. Performances of this kind typically run for about two and a half hours, including a 20-minute interval.
For visitors combining the concert with a Paris trip, Bercy sits close to the Seine with easy metro access to the rest of the city, making it simple to build a full day of sightseeing around the evening’s show.
The Paris date follows directly on from Bordeaux the night before, on 18 February, giving the tour two French performances within 24 hours before continuing elsewhere in Europe.
Tickets for Paris are available now, and given how quickly other stops on this tour have moved, early booking is recommended for anyone hoping to see André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra live on 19 February.
