Sir Anthony Hopkins was in Vienna, Austria on Sunday for the premiere performance of his waltz ‘And The Waltz Goes On’ by Andre Rieu.

Sir Anthony has been composing music for years but wrote ‘And The Waltz Goes On’ specifically for the maestro to perform it.

"I've been a great admirer of André Rieu for several years,” says Sir Anthony is a statement.  “My wife and I had the same dream of meeting him one day, so I sent him some music that I wrote. It's a dream came true for me that André performed it with his orchestra. I'm totally knocked out by the result. It's even more than I expected!"  

Andre Rieu premiered the piece with his Johann Strauss Orchestra on Sunday with Sir Anthony in attendance as well as the President of the District of Vienna, Marianna Kilica who awarded Andre the Grand Gold Decoration for services to the Republic of Austria.

‘And The Waltz Goes On’ will be a featured track on the next Andre Rieu album. It will also be performed on Andre’s upcoming U.S. tour.
