Dutch conductor and violinist André Rieu listens to his orchestra during sound check before a performance. Rieu and his Strauss Orchestra performed at Denver's Pepsi Center as part of their 11-city 2007 U.S. tour.



A violist warms up during sound check before a performance with Dutch conductor and violinist André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra. Rieu has led a popular revival of waltz music, and his international orchestra regularly fills large arenas — a rarity in classical music.



Rieu warms up alone among the seats of Denver's Pepsi Center arena after a sound check with his orchestra.



Rieu hugs a soloist, right, after talking with her and a staff doctor about an illness that will prevent her from performing.



Several warning signs block entry to the dressing room of Dutch conductor and violinist André Rieu before a performance. Rieu naps before each concert to stay fresh for his very active performances.
