all that democratic vision of what culture can achieve was shared by luciano pavarotti the legendary italian tenor was renowned and adored for the quality of his voice and for his tireless efforts to bring the rather rarefied world of opera back to the people well now academy award winning director ron howard has made a compelling documentary that allows the opera star who died in 2007 to tell his own story in a way here's a glimpse. 7 there was a period of time where he was a bigger than michael jackson. father was in terms of you know really do work your father is doing so i managed to turn to. my mother my son

seeing the beautiful gardens of mom where you state that you could not know because you don't say that's when i hear your. there was a nervous wreck before performance and they would always say oh we did today and really sure you'll hit the note you know that these the beauty of my profession. because the global broached. 3 of the world's greatest chatters on the same stage for the 1st time through a channel called me will soon made them before. he was crushed i just. became completely obsessed by what he could do for others. i learned to love people who are trusting person. i will not exist if i don't trust people. that reason is great. he believes

those. mistakes he. hopes he desires. comes crashing. i'll talk about bonds i get them every time and my colleague david leavitt's is doing me in the studio to talk more about this documentary that really gets you in the chest and well oh my god do not forget your tissues when you go to see this movie and a big part of that emotionality is actually how well director ron howard pairs what's going on in which i don't have already biography with his powerful performance as we see that a lot of the times think he was singing about things that were actually happening in his own life he was bringing his real life drama and experiences also to his roles as ron howard's and opera is of course the best drama and it's also seen very much as an elite art form that pavarotti could fill these massive stadiums actually one of his performances with the 3 tenors had more than

a 1000000000 viewers worldwide no one democratize opera in the way that pavarotti did and that was really important to him too he grew up in post-war italy in a town where opera wasn't just for the rich it was also for the working class like his family and he really wanted to bring that back and this this comes across particularly in a great scene in the movie. where he's supposed to get this open air concert in london but then the skies opened it's pouring down it looks like no one is going to show up. but then well we can actually see what happens next. it was like something from time to snap and still see. the march drug go to the 2nd people are already out there on bread as people behind could say that we share and sing and there was a noise going on i literally rushed on stage grabbed the marker for the night you said i could not take your brother with i.

i supposed to jump out was precious daughter who had caught on and started with an employer who said tell your brother down and there was a ripple effect all the way they deal with. everybody for their own brand is down in the consequent or. they fight going to be an audio you know i'm not really my. this is mean i have never seen a woman like that i mean you're for the feeling. i would like to dedicate to they did i i. i i he really knew how to access people's emotions didn't need all the work that he did cross over work with rock and pop stars unbelievable but this film also shows very much just how much he can fuck that's right he was really dedicated to doing what he could for people particularly for children in war zones that was one of his favorite causes having grown up in a war zone but of course there was then this other side of him the difficult artist

who was never satisfied with his own voice who always said what some are insecure i have to be better so fascinating personality i really think this film is also going to bring him to a younger generation that didn't get to know him while he was still alive let's hope so because he really seems like his presence is missed hitting the theaters in june david levitz thank you very much for bringing us that story. pleasing to the eye as well as the palate that's of course the mandate for any high class food a temple and recently many michelin starred establishment are taking that idea one step further and coming up with fashionable outfits for their service and kitchen staff so we checked out some prominent examples of uniforms that elicit a visual. design is for the german fashion label target who holds love bold colors models on that spring prater portray a runway or bright pink and yellow dresses so it's no wonder that the labels

creations for the 2 star restaurant temptress of munich turned out to be quite beyond capture. last year the fashion designers created uniforms for the entire kitchen and waiting staff. the ladies launched that each year and at one point we got this idea to make the uniforms which were still all from the eighty's. we had so much fun. we had discovered a curtain in the ladies' powder room that had this print from the seventy's seventy's print and we used it as a stylistic elements that even the men's uniforms it was a big hit. design a fashion for restaurant staff the concept is booming in london the no uniform label specialized in fashion for the catering profession they created 78 different looks for london's luxury rosewood hotel morton to some from denmark and looted i

mean from italy also create designs for the working environment they used to be designers who is a better model and alexander mcqueen in 2013 they founded their own label in paris called. each style beads to suit the restaurant the looks are inspired by the architecture and design of each individual location. here for the waiters and cooks of a japanese restaurant in paris the designers match their garments to the interior decoration and worked closely with the owner and coconuts ashitaka is color a concept couldn't do with just any old day but. it's a nice compliment when the fashion appeals not only to the staff wearing it but also to the customers sometimes we have had japanese tourists who come to paris to eat who were seated grant her career somewhere and calls us and ask if they can pass by just to buy 2 items so something like this attention to detail is what

makes couture so special and manufacturers like older now extending that same loving attention to the stasi uniforms. an interesting way to make the whole dining experience even more appetizing well that brings us to the end of the show so i'm till next time i must go to from us here in berlin and.
