Bologna, 19/03/2026
Bologna, prepare for a night of orchestral brilliance and timeless elegance — on Thursday, 19 March 2026, the celebrated maestro André Rieu and his world-renowned 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra will take the stage at the Unipol Arena for an unforgettable concert experience. With captivating soloists, special guests, and the maestro himself leading the way, this performance promises an evening where sweeping waltzes, dramatic ballads and cinematic melodies blend into a musical celebration that speaks to the heart of every music lover.
As the doors open at 20:00, anticipation will build inside Bologna’s Unipol Arena — one of Italy’s most dynamic concert venues. Originally opened in the early 1990s and continually modernised since, the arena can accommodate up to 20,000 spectators for major concerts, offering broad sightlines and vibrant acoustics designed to enhance grand live productions. Wikipedia Whether you’re seated close to the stage or in the upper tiers, the arena’s scale and design ensure that every note—from the softest violin phrase to the most sweeping orchestral crescendo—reaches you with clarity and impact.
This Bologna show marks a special stop on André Rieu’s 2026 European tour, bringing his signature blend of classical mastery and joyful performance to northern Italy. Rieu’s concerts are known not just for their musical excellence, but for the emotional resonance they create — touching audiences young and old with melodies that inspire, uplift and connect.
Ticket interest is rising quickly, and fans are encouraged to secure their seats early. From general seating to premium packages, there are options for every type of concert-goer — but shows of this scale often sell out fast. With Rieu’s charismatic presence, breathtaking orchestration and the soaring beauty of the Johann Strauss repertoire, this performance in Bologna promises to be among the most memorable of the season.
