These singers met each other with André Rieu and grew into a close group with a strong stage presence. You hear how they switch effortlessly between opera, pop and musical. Puccini receives a new shine, Queen sounds surprisingly close and songs from The Greatest Showman and Hazes also gain a colour of their own.

On stage something new happens constantly. The live band and the ensemble give the music strength and energy. The voices of The Sapphire Sopranos provide extra contrast and bring a different atmosphere. Between the music there is humour, which makes you not only listen but also keep watching.

This performance feels like a journey that keeps growing. What begins small and intense develops into an evening that carries you along and does not let go.
