never dream they drink so much beer it's sold out in many places. but there's no shortage of insects volgograd has been invaded by flies and mosquitoes. no wonder the german squad chose to fly home early. for that we were just one. when it comes to world cup oracles the russians are being catty achilles a death feline who lives at the st petersburg hermitage museum is supposed to predict the match winners but others are vying for his turf like a tiger and present your asc an otter in sochi a goat. and a mere cat and some are up. and a lemur and you catch a remember. so just to ball sports the resulting confusion. but most important of all is the move russia's national team is in the quarter

history. i'm always admired of people maybe. i think the work that i like i think wow somebody to do that and i would love to. meet this person and cameras are a great excuse to meet somebody. called by name is the most prominent figure out how backs try i mean you know all photography it's mounted an impressive show of this talented photographers work. there are so many people here and i get a little nervous with my german george and it's surprising that even he would be nervous. but he's photographed stars like miles davis. who chano pavarotti and brian eno. but how does he

motivate his subjects to cooperate as i did and this he gets everything ready so you feel really safe and you end up forgetting that you're having your picture taken this month off and that's really the best way to do it this it's a stand by itself as if he's very tall you feel as if you were like a lighthouse quickly checking out the situation you know you're in good hands and as the subject you reflect the security you stand up there and feel secure fritzie secure. that helps but it's not all much like you stop jacks and tomko by him is driven and he loves music close we'll be in my mid forty's i was in the bill that i was still so obsessed with music you know because as a teenage thing i always thought i was still infesting my energy into the proposition so i thought i must go on from there you have a board. so he started taking a series of photos of his home village strike in the netherlands in the detroit stop like musicians george harrison kurt cobain

a mark boal and. kolbein felt at home in stride but at the same time he didn't feel like you belong here the thing that i did because what i realized was that because there was nothing to feel this was in both interesting to me at the time. it was music that came from. my father the preacher my mother study theology my for mother's father was a preacher my mother's brother was a preacher my father systematic the preacher and so you could say and all the friends were preaching says that the drive to do something was protestant and do things that have a meaning so when i look back at the i can see that's. bottom of how i look at things. studies self cemeteries full of iconic imagery kolbein also shot to fame through a tragedy this became the last vocal of english rock band joy division singer in

curtis looks around questioningly soon after he took his own life. you know the people before you meet them through the ever and inform show a lot about the people you're going to photograph and if you spend time with this is the same person for a long where there's not enough inhibition from there and to be photographed in all kind of situations and you get images that nobody else got so. it doesn't mean you have to become friends with people but if you don't have to reintroduce yourself every single time that helps and it helps getting your certain pictures reach out and search for the. really. the.

time now for something for you do it yourself or is out there and if your in need of a unique table then we just might have the solution for you today our resident d i y expert hunch and shows us how to make one out of old books. by what you do with folks that only pile up in your room that you never meet they are just too good to go away so today i'd like to show you an. idea with just a few tricks you can tell these folks into a fancy looking side to table. you need some old coats some glue and a brush. paint and whatever color you choose. a hot glue gun. and college pencils to mark the placement of each book. now you're ready to

get started. the first cookbook pages with wheat gluten by generously and several times as needed to make all the pages stick together firmly you can wait each book down with a heavy object after applying the glue. let everything dry for half an hour next arrange the books the way you'd like to take a look later and mark their positions with a college pencil. now you can glue the books together with a hot glue gun briskly as quickly and then it's no longer possible to make changes . finally thanks to the end table and whatever color you enjoy best i'd like sky blue. vanished especially well suited because the coast last longer. let the stock drive thru only. and you and this ready to use. you can stack the books even higher and make a decorative color out of them. you're

at it's best you're on max brings you the highlights on instagram stunning landscapes spectacular buildings and mouthwatering delicacy our reporters are constantly on the look out with their cameras we look forward to your comments check out our your maps instagram stories and discover how exciting and diverse europe can be. some of us on instagram. and you can find out more about our d.i.y. projects on our you tube page now usually when you go to the opera the pieces that are shown are at least one hundred years old back in mozart or wagners de mostly new works were shown but today only seven percent of operas that are stage are actually new works composer and pianist morris eggert is trying to change that he

composed the music for the opening ceremony of the two thousand and six world cup in germany and his goal is to get more living composers to have their work staged in today's day and age. mole that's agate vienna's professor for composition and proponent of contemporary music more than a billion people heard the music he composed for the opening ceremony of the two thousand and six soccer world cup he also writes opera for children and has even said google's terms of service to music now he's analyze the opera from years in germany in the twenty seventeen twenty eighteen season and discovered that on average opera goer is could expect to hear music that's one hundred thirty nine years old. this i list is that the business has become too smug too self-satisfied too narcissistic and it never changes and for me that's precisely the problem i can't imagine that one hundred years from now people will want to listen to operas

that will be on average two hundred and thirty nine years old i just can't imagine that this kind of money forced and. this is unfortunately classical music has been taken over by squares who keep repeating the same rituals and don't want any surprises anyone who applauds and susie asked to play between movements earn scornful looks but it wasn't always that way of the music the heart and when these words first debuted people smoked drank and had sex and played roulette along with the music her opera houses where the city's pleasure domes and the opera was like a side show on some stuff that had disadvantages as far as listening was concerned the subject but it also had its advantages of the hopper houses were part of the city and its social fabric on tides and that's what i'd like to return to and it's all. in twenty eighteen the average opera goer in germany is sixty years old the piece that's performed most often is mozart's dun giovanni which made its debut in seven hundred eighty seven. new compositions accounts for just seven percent of all

premiers the way taggert sees it if something doesn't change very quickly up or his chances of survival are nil he proposes a radical remedy. a repertoire comprised of fifty percent traditional opera and fifty percent contemporary words. done been difficult only when we really chronicled the feelings and situations of our time can we create something of value that softened us which will still be of interest in the centuries from now when we listen to music from the eighteenth century god it is it's exciting because we learn about a world that no longer exists as a god the emotions were very different from the relationships between the sexes were different which was the instance in a mozart opera of when things happen between women and men it's very different to what occurs between women and men today. these things are in constant flux limits so we need to show the present authentically often. lives where.

classical music as we know it today usually means people in tuxes and evening dresses playing for people in suits and evening dresses and it's been that way since the nineteenth century but in their day composers like paid to move in and back down revolutionary politically minded individuals believes it could be like that again was you can see even that they think is there really are entertaining and even amusing contemporary art or this is what john adams nixon in china is a prime example of it's a wonderful piece that has something for everyone is readily understood and has a break music we simply have to give more space to the talented people who write such works other countries are much further ahead in this than in the some touching business by the. movements agate says contemporary works can be thrilling you just need to give them a chance. ok

maybe a chance is definitely what they need i would that we come to the end of another show don't forget to check us out on social media or go to our website for more on the program for me and the rest of the crew here on max as always thanks tuning for . we'll see again tomorrow for. the. next time on your a man. clear channel facing the taliban capitalist besting with a wealth famous author and dr tank champ no one the tourists flock here in droves. there are still some quiet corner as it's called secrets of rome next time on your next. block from. just.
