On November 15, My dad, mom, and I went to Roger's Centre in Toronto to see a violin player named Andre Rieu perform live with his orchestra, ballet dancers, and ice skaters. There were more than twenty-five thousand people watching the performance and it was a magnificent sight. The orchestra looked tiny because I was far away from it. I watched the performance on a large screen beside the real thing, to see it clearer.

It was a great performance. The whole stage was transformed into a real Viennese castle with André Rieu & his Johann Strauß Orchestra & Choir, many soloists, the Platin Tenors, The Viennese State Opera Ballet, 80 Viennese Debutantes, the golden coach with Empress Sissi & Emperor Franz Joseph, The Viennese Ice Dancers, the most famous figure-skating champions, and Viennese "Fiaker" with horses and lackeys.
First there were happy songs I saw horses and carriages with people in them. The horses were pure white with hats on them and nice decorations.

Next there were songs about love and the ballet dancers and skaters were dancing. The ballet dancers and the skaters were dancing beautifully and every move matched the music.

Then there were waltzes like The Blue Danube Waltz and I thought it must be harder to waltz on ice. The ice skaters still did very well and the music was all wonderful.

After that, was opera singing. There were four female singers and three male singers.
