André Rieu and the Journey with “Im Weißen Rössl”

In the wave of modern classical music, the name André Rieu always shines as an artist associated with the charm and liveliness that he brings to every classic work. One of his memorable performances is “Im Weißen Rössl”, a classic Austrian operetta with a joyful and sweet flavor.

“Im Weißen Rössl”, composed by Ralph Benatzky in 1930, is a prominent work in the operetta genre with the setting in an inn on the shores of the beautiful Wolfgangsee lake. The story of the musical revolves around love and humorous situations, bringing a romantic and lively atmosphere. However, when put through the hands of André Rieu, the work seems to wear a new coat – more brilliant, more modern but still keeping the original soul.
