Cluj-Napoca, 22/10/2027

Cluj-Napoca, prepare for another extraordinary evening of music, romance and celebration — on Friday, 22 October 2027, André Rieu and his world-renowned Johann Strauss Orchestra will return to BTarena for the second of two spectacular concerts in the heart of Transylvania. Beginning at 19:30, this special Friday-night performance promises an enchanting journey through timeless Viennese waltzes, emotional melodies and magnificent orchestral arrangements, bringing the unmistakable charm of the “King of the Waltz” back to one of his most enthusiastic Romanian audiences.

The announcement marks another exciting chapter in André Rieu’s remarkable relationship with music lovers in Cluj-Napoca. His previous visits have attracted extraordinary demand, most notably in November 2025, when the original two concerts sold 15,600 tickets in just 48 hours. Organisers subsequently added two further performances, allowing thousands more fans to experience the magic of the Johann Strauss Orchestra.

Now, almost two years later, Rieu is preparing to return with another magnificent production, accompanied by his celebrated 60-member Johann Strauss Orchestra, international soloists and special guests.

The 2027 programme promises a wonderfully varied musical journey, featuring romantic waltzes, beloved classical masterpieces, opera favourites, memorable film soundtracks, traditional melodies and songs from popular musicals. Beautiful costumes, elaborate scenery and spectacular lighting will add a theatrical dimension to the evening, creating an experience that feels far removed from a conventional classical concert.

BTarena – A Familiar Stage for André Rieu

The setting for this special performance will be BTarena, also known as Sala Polivalentă, one of Romania’s most important indoor entertainment venues. Located on Aleea Stadionului, close to the Someșul Mic River and Cluj Arena, the venue has become a familiar destination for major international concerts, sporting events and cultural productions.

Opened in 2014, BTarena offers a modern indoor setting capable of accommodating thousands of spectators. Its flexible seating arrangements and large performance area make it particularly well suited to André Rieu’s elaborate touring productions, which combine a full orchestra, soloists, theatrical scenery and impressive lighting.

For local audiences, the arena also carries memories of Rieu’s previous performances. The maestro appeared in Cluj-Napoca in 2019 and 2023, before returning for four consecutive concerts in November 2025. Those earlier visits helped establish the city as an important Romanian destination on his international touring calendar.

A Special Second Evening in Transylvania

The 22 October 2027 concert follows an opening performance at BTarena on Thursday, 21 October, giving Romanian fans two consecutive opportunities to enjoy André Rieu’s latest production.

The Friday date offers a particularly attractive option for visitors travelling from elsewhere in Romania or neighbouring countries, allowing them to combine the concert with a weekend exploring Cluj-Napoca.

Known for its historic architecture, lively cultural atmosphere and strong university traditions, Cluj-Napoca is one of Transylvania’s most interesting destinations. Visitors can explore the beautiful Piața Unirii, admire St. Michael’s Church or enjoy the city’s restaurants and cafés before making their way to BTarena for the evening performance.

The arena’s location near the central park and the Someșul Mic River also provides an attractive setting for concertgoers arriving early.

The Magic of the Johann Strauss Orchestra

For André Rieu, the true magic of every concert lies in the connection between the musicians and their audience. His performances are famous for transforming enormous arenas into places of warmth and togetherness.

A delicate violin melody can create a moment of quiet emotion, while the familiar rhythm of a Strauss waltz can suddenly have thousands of spectators smiling, clapping and swaying together.

Rieu’s natural humour, relaxed interaction with the audience and enthusiasm for music create an atmosphere where classical tradition feels welcoming and wonderfully alive.

Since founding the Johann Strauss Orchestra in 1987, the Dutch violinist has built one of the world’s most successful orchestral entertainment productions. With more than 40 million albums sold worldwide and over 700,000 concertgoers attending his performances annually, his popularity continues to reach audiences across Europe and beyond.
