really is a matter of taste i see balls for a sweet gesture i. and the weather the sun is beating down and the mercury is rising up to forty eight degrees celsius in volgograd russia is a land of extremes so football fans need to keep drinking although the russians never dreamed 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 award just one ball. 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 cross new yorkers an otter in sochi a goat. and

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 channel pavarotti and brian eno. but how does he motivate his subjects to cooperate but i did and he gets everything readings and you feel really safe and you end up forgetting that you're having your picture taken. off and that's really the best way to do it this is to stand by itself as a guy he's very tall you feel as if you are 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 for sixty. and that helps but it's not all much like you stop jacks and tom call by him is driven and he loves music closer to me in my mid forty's i was in the ball that i was still so says that music you know because that's

a teenage thing ourselves and i was still infesting my energy into the proposition so i thought it must gone from the area where you're born. so he started taking a series of photos of his home village striken in the netherlands. he dressed up like musicians george harrison kurt cobain on mock poland. kolbein felt at home in stride but at the same time he didn't feel like you belong. there and i didn't because what i realized was that because there was nothing in the field this was in both interesting to me at the time. it was music that came from across the water from outside of the island that seemed to promise a different kind of life than the life i had that i became obsessed with that if you like. my father the preacher my mother study theology and i for mother's father was a preacher my mother's brother was a preacher my father sister mary the preacher and so you could say and all the

friends were preaching i says this is the drive to do something as protestant and do things that have a meaning so when i look back that 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 photo of english rock band joy division singer curtis looks around questioningly soon after he took his own life. you know the people before you meet them through ever and that informs you a lot about the people you're going to photograph and if you spend time with the city the same person for longer there's less in the inhibition from there and to be

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 of our stage are actually new works composer and pianist moritz 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 pianist 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 premiers in germany and 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. because i listen to 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 thirty nine years old i just can't imagine that this kind of money forced him. he says unfortunately classical music has been taken over by squares who keep repeating the same rituals and don't want any surprises anyone who applauds enthusiastically between movements earn scornful looks but it wasn't always that way of the music the heart and when these works first debuted people smoked and drank and had sex and played roulette along with the music hall

the 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 in the hopper houses were part of the city and its social fabric on tight is and that's what i'd like to return to england and soak 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 seventeen eighty seven. new compositions accounts for just seven percent of all premiers the way eggert 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 worse. than that because only when we really chronicle the feelings and situations of our time can we create something of value that softened us which will still be of interest centuries from now when we listen to

music from the eighteenth century god that is it's exciting because we learn about a world that no longer exists as a god the emotions were very different the relationships between the sexes were different which led to her instance in a mozart opera 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 limbs so we need to show the present authentically often. 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 beethoven and back now full revolutionaries politically minded individuals who believes it could be like that again 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 eg that says contemporary works can be thrilling you just need to give them a chance. ok maybe a chance is definitely what they need and with 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. morning. time on your a man. rarely fear channel facing the italian capital is bursting with wealth
