The creation of this spectacular performance was no small feat. Emma, known for her angelic voice and emotive delivery, worked closely with André Rieu and his renowned Johann Strauss Orchestra to bring the song to life in a fresh and magical way.

From the very start, the team aimed to capture the essence of the iconic song while infusing it with the charm and grandeur synonymous with André Rieu’s Christmas concerts. The process included weeks of rehearsals, meticulous orchestral arrangements, and attention to every musical and visual detail.

Emma, a rising star in classical crossover music, has garnered a devoted following thanks to her remarkable voice and ability to convey raw emotion. For Let It Go, Emma approached the song with both technical precision and heartfelt passion, ensuring it would resonate deeply with audiences of all ages.

“I’ve always loved this song,” Emma shared during rehearsals. “It’s about finding strength within yourself, and I wanted the audience to feel that magic, that freedom.”

Her natural talent, combined with hours of vocal coaching and rehearsals, allowed her to deliver a version of Let It Go that was both powerful and ethereal, perfectly suited for the grandeur of Maastricht’s holiday celebration.

André Rieu and his orchestra reimagined the music with a stunning symphonic arrangement, combining soaring string sections, delicate harp melodies, and the subtle support of a choir. This new arrangement added a classical elegance to the beloved Disney tune while maintaining its uplifting and emotional core.

André Rieu, ever the master of creating breathtaking concert experiences, ensured that every note resonated with the warmth and wonder of the holiday season.

“Music like this brings people together. Emma’s voice elevated the song to another level—she truly made it her own,” André commented after the performance.

The stage design was nothing short of magical. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Maastricht, the Christmas concert featured sparkling lights, snow-like effects, and festive decorations that transformed the venue into a winter wonderland. As Emma sang, artificial snowflakes gently fell, adding a sense of enchantment to the performance.

Dressed in a dazzling gown that shimmered under the lights, Emma looked every bit the snow queen as she delivered her performance with confidence and grace. The audience sat spellbound, and many were moved to tears.
