the aristoteles investment firm whose collection included more than one hundred thirty thousand artworks and literary treasures the company went bankrupt in twenty fifteen this round is expected to bring in more than fifteen million euros. anyone who has visited berlin knows that pretty much anything goes here in terms of culture that includes clubbing on a sunday morning or driving around in an old east german car so it's not surprising that some. people are choosing to go out on the town dressed as if it were the nineteen twenties a gun or a visit at one location which picks up on the federalist flair of that era. in going to entering the principals in ballet and for the first time should be prepared to be blinded by the glitz and glamour in spite of the night. and it's

not just the sweet looks the ball like a queen on the throne and the decor pays homage to the roaring twenty's with decadence and. she want to find people travel to crowds big specially to come here. of course we have tourists too but we have a very tough selection process we want our guests to look a bit cultivated too they should have dry stuff a bit put on a proper shed no jogging pants or running shoes kind of. manager has very high standards a trim seamstress who worked in the costume industry she knows how to transform the meekest of women into a flamboyant then the top. she even invites her guests to dress up in style. this plan surprise unusual but the principle isn't just a bar and burlesque show live concert hall is also

a little props room where the guests as well as the girls that sit on the swing can get styled by me. style and i do their entire costume and they hit women's myself. in fact i'm going to dress a young lady in british style right know so you can see what that entails. a change of roles and the fatah lets people experiment with the way they see themselves. but he made it for the girls it's always especially exciting. oh freak out because they're the queens in the firmament of the principal who just can see pots. outside the box the atmosphere is completely different the pace is hectic balance courts work district is home to many turkish takeaways and lively balls and restaurants here the principal all seems like a good way to another world or like going down

a rabbit hole the experiments clearly paid off. that was the idea to create a parallel universe something that was the opposite of what really happens here on the iranians to cross that. we wanted to give our guests the chance to delve into another world. and yes it works folks have taken to it and. russian burlesque performer. is dressed just the swan princess she's both glamorous and a little shameless swan princess is like a russian figure it's a preacher and it was so dear to me all my life it was like ok i'm going to make it into something this slickly sixty fantasy like a grown up version of a fairy tale and that's it like all what only do is that it's like the grown up fairy tale. and that titillating fairy tale world can

be found in the home of bella. see i told you anything goes in berlin well also here in germany the cello has been nominated instrument of the year so it will definitely be promoted at various events and one man who you could say serves as an ambassador for the instrument is russian musician alex a saddler already of the age of twenty six he's played with some of the world's best orchestras is a rising star in the classical music world and our next report we hear why. there's a new star on the classical music horizon twenty six year old alexis is considered one of the top cellists of his generation. in two thousand and sixteen he made his celebrated debut at the legendary b.b.c. proms festival as a last minute stand in. the list of world class orchestras and conductors he's

performed with grows longer every month. if there were no in mind i live in my dreams sometimes i have problems with the real world but never with my dreams. this concert season has already seen alexy making guest appearances in liverpool mexico city berlin low end his native st petersburg where he began studying the cello at the age of four these days he meets up with his friends there while on tour. he travels the world with a cello by davita dating from seven hundred fifteen. weimar germany is a city that's very special to him. it was here that he met his partner and where he studied at the prestigious france list music college. by my stash to the weimar is the kind of home for me in germany every time i travel the world and meet new people it's always lovely to be back in the fine ma field i find it in a harmony environment that i perhaps calm find in certain other cities as well and

me from getting to meet the. alexy start learn normally place together with large orchestras. but at some concerts his cello is the sole instrument as is the case in this church performance in the eastern german city of vienna. here stoppers only a complement is a choir the musical marriage made in heaven. time now for something to eat and for that we're headed to the a talian capital rome and of course while there we have to do as the romans do so we asked some of the younger residents where they typically go for a good meal stuffed past the niche a restaurant is on the menu.
