performers. we spoke to one of the singers to see how she's handling hitting high notes at high heights o a gigantic sheet of paper on late constance. the ensemble of madame butterfly performs puccini's tragic opera about a japanese geisha on a steep incline. ah, for this performance at the pagans festival, the seniors need to be sure footed and have a head for heights, including i touched she, curly soda. so this and or to know now it's my queue. i need to sing now. ah, saturday that was done on the front of your to this i saw you're gonna my degroach and have to rama is if you have a few that has so many uneven surfaces and we them all, i might sometimes you're not just singing but also moving and running saw the vegan and oh yeah,

a scaffold in lake constance. the surface was painted after traditional japanese drawings on a carelessly discarded sheet of paper. with this set design and michael levine wanted to express to disregard the american naval officer. pinkerton has 4 butterfly and her culture whom he marries, impregnates, and abandons. but levine also had to make sure the stage was functional. the fold of the cloth is actually acting like, or a safety railing. this is a step we found areas like this where you would have to go to steep the steeply down. so we added in these invisible steps. and then if you look over there, you can see there are steps in the back of that fold. and no, that is not seen by the audience in the production is meticulous, but the stage design exudes restraint. it's less pompous than its predecessors,

since 1946 up to $7000.00 spectators in an evening, have watched oper performances on the world's largest late stage, famous for its spectacular productions. throughout the years, the stages have had one thing in common. they interact with the surroundings or these a lunch shaft, was the landscape here, changes every single hour. you saw how stormy it can get in and sometimes when you're running on stage i can get a bit slippery when my heart comes. i. this is tish, are designed to the natures are the sheet of paper because of the music. pacina, like all of that together creates a beautiful feeling and new feeling. dominic, i know, because all the parts play a role. i think that's why it's beautiful. i live, i live tyler speed and i'm the roller. they say instinct. this is a wound issue. oh, powerful emotions on a one of

a festival to look back at that golden age of art and culture. ah, once a year, this town and spain travels back in time, ah, from close to food. to music for 4 days to tosser in catalonia takes itself back to the renaissance. during this period from the late 15th to the 17th century, europe's art culture and economy radically changed, including inter tulsa, that aside on william charts, i was importing because of its architecture. many buildings were built here in the 16th century, and there still stand empty delcom. it, it was also important for trained as the town lies on a river. so goods could be easily transported, okay, and for the economy as well. but like with this is the 1st time on

a lewis is one of 2 tosses, flag bares. she'll make her grand appearance with the about us later in the day. she's one of around $3000.00 local residents who organize and stage the festival every year left. yes, that's mccarthy, that the festival is very popular here and talk so. okay, we all look forward to it until i say that's fair just to re living the old times of tortoise out of it. i and we look forward to reuniting with friend nancy on the bed, barbosa you, but i do need to check on us amigos with around 60 performance is a day. visitors can immerse themselves and life as it was in the renaissance. the one, the ruin zuber ruts and honda. domingo will be performing. dressed as to 17th century aristocrats and mark deniable gathered about her back then. barto torso was cats alone. he is 5th largest town here. one of i'm here, i feel proud to be representing a noble family from the era, and that was the dance and the music movie performing today. so came from

historical documents. my name is barbara. oh, the woman does her story girl. even if it is their 10th year performing, both took care preparing. they been rehearsing the noble dance for months. everyone involved devotes a great deal of time. and all the costumes were hand made me mad at me. and i said that my mother made mistress, that darker color tones were a typical of spanish renaissance fashion. lab willis, my new, especially black or shades of tan. a fellow of course, with it's time for anna louise's big moment as one of to tosses about the lattice. spain's only remaining flag throwers are a great attraction. dennis, now it's mainly about entertainment. the performers have practiced daily for months, but continuously waving and throwing around a one kilogram heavy flag isn't easy. is it about gay?

it's hard when the sun shines in our eyes and we can't see how the flags are fly up . it's a matter of balancing endurance and practice. the knowledge, basically anything you do takes practice life is and we practiced a lot. it gets exhausting and it takes a lot of strength at all. but in the end, if you like, what you're doing, you'll do whatever it takes to do your best lament, possibly. after the appearances the performers gather, the taverns, recipes dating from the renaissance have been resurrected and made with ingredients used at the time following age old traditions on elisa's favorite as a kind of sausage, still popular in the region today level than i soon ali meant that the by then as a dash typical of the renaissance, him ta ta scandal. he says it's made with blood and port gotten it. it is here to look back, then pupil 8, mostly grain, cork, apples, pears and whatever. they could grow in the field stem. yes. such as being

a lot of fun cabbage eat and lettuce, although i get hit by the a good about it'll gamble comalla school, the ash lascola, se latoya. so tosses, 25th renaissance festival continues well into the night until next year to tulsa, once again travelled by come time to celebrate. it's rich cultural heritage i it summer, which means it's barbecue time, bright, go away shaft to be a spec. would actually agree, but he takes the humble barbecue to a whole new level. he lights his fires in unusual places, often in the middle of the city. and the resulting dishes are not really delicious, but incredibly innovative. we visited him at an industrial weight land in berlin to

get a few tips for our next barbecue party. ah gourmet dishes cooked over an open fire for dinner is an unexpected places. that's to be aspects concept for his gastronomic experience in berlin. as far as that is true for a chef, i is the ultimate cooking method. however, even if only because of the aroma line being alma from unmarked, many loiter for you. you realize that having fire means lots of different things. motley, also fundamental things. li, such as light heat, food and warm for that. so when we look into fire, it automatically evokes feelings very deep within us, auto mothers, computer to be aspect stokes. his fire with oak and beechwood. he prefers them by their slow burn time and high heat, as well as the fine grilled flavor they lent the dishes

the smithy guzman, him. what's important is that you don't just tore out the sack of the coal. you have to stack and lay the wood. so it gets plenty of oxygen. it's like here with this tower. when you see that the fire blazes up right away, door is patience is key. this isn't a stove, you can switch on and off and it's something romantic that takes time there, woman. but i think every one hour barbecuing has that good enough. that capacity either to be aspect learned his fire skills and argentina from the start shaft. francis mailman, master of outdoor cuisine, he learned, go may quality cooking from starch shaft. renee reads epi and copenhagen, and at berlin's and st. restaurant. he combines both and his concept. ember opened fire cooking and you know to us in c and emma, when people he grill, they think extremely charged or crispy and heavily seasoned stock. but you can work

with it very elegantly, like a lightly smoked cream or a grilled lemon for a salad dressing, warning and blessings. one was allowed. he's finished on the fire for 30 seconds at most. his tip to make a crispy is to spread butter on it. beforehand, the grilled spinach is then combined with roasted pistachio case. gonna the same issue. pleasure for me is putting your heart into cookie. you know, we're, that's what we do here. we use simple produce and chaco to bring things to lighting, and some beams of acton to be us back, uses a japanese conroe grill, that's good at storing heat, but cooking over a woodfield fire is only one aspect of his dinner concept. he receives his guests at ever changing locations. this time it's an old archive building and berlin's eastern mouth found district. yes. what about up on the ones i've always. it was a 40 guests including lam sweet bread with green onions,

roasted tender and crispy over the wood. fire and french fraser. clams briefly singed on a grill to be a spec filled himself serve with canola blossoms marinated muster, leaves and a whole blanket. a spanish sauce made with almonds, garlic, and olive oil. it's no surprise that to be a speck in his team for 1st seasonal produce in spring. the menu includes asparagus serve with the best of pureed crayfish and fresh salt. we want to lighten. we want to give people incredible evening while they wouldn't normally experiencing that. can't be repeated and cardinal and that's exactly what to be us. break hopes to achieve good food and unexpected places.

ok, so i think it's time for me to up my barbecue skills. now does it get any better than the summary smell of lap and, or imagine walking through entire fields of these beautiful deep purple flowers? well, we're headed to the provence, to meet up with the photographers who flock there every summer for the chance to capture the feast. for the nose, and for the eyes. one thing for sure. the perfect postcard picture is guaranteed. 11th fields in the south of france, it's pretty is a picture everywhere you look between june and august. when the plants are in bloom, the valence on a plateau turns into a frequency of flowers. a cheer people from around the world visit. some keep coming back. like landscape, little golfer, fabio, and to nora. this is was cool about profile get out of here. we have these incredible colors and las, and everywhere in your book we have the lines that go way back into the distance

and everything that i love. that's what is at the end of there's a tree. it's like disneyland for photographers, and for photographing fabia likes to share his passion with others and takes amateur photographers on guided to us through the lavender fields. this was photographer, has pioneered a technique that revolutionized classical landscape photography is super, imposes differently chance of the same subject on top of one another to create hyper realist images. as a result, his landscape photos looked more mystical than realistic by hyperbolic landscape photography is about bringing together all the emotions i felt before while taking the shots in one picture. as you know, the different moly situations and ambient light stable new could take 234, or up to 40 or 50 images. to convey that feeling to the observer. again, it's this feeling that he also wants to transmit to the photo to a participants. the fertilizer these here,

the best ones are actually those 2 there. and in the middle, when it comes to framing their image, the image is get help from van of oscar. has been the landscape photographer for more than 2 decades and knows whether it's classical or hyper realistic photography . the ground rules are always the same. what's important, what is such wide open landscapes as the foreground? often you'll see pictures with a tree somewhere in the background, but nothing up front for it's a broad field, it's slime adds a nice depth da da landscape and we have a nice foreground with the blooming lavender. that's half the battle won while taking a good landscape photo gunshot total. the 1st successful shots are long coming, much to the delight of the 2 participants. these are good hardly in a straight lines, lesser materials. it's just amazing. the new toys is, as i find, the st. louis harper's stunningly beautiful, bankrupt then as the acoustics the hum of the bees and the blossoms which move

around and i went into it not, it's just wonderful. and for warner, sherwin versus ill video doors is always a challenge. it is for a comp in terms of composition. read. every picture tells a great story or that's clear most of the argument but the popularity of the lavender fields has one big drawback. many farmers fear for their crops is in here . we're on private property. heard everything here belongs to a farmer who earns us living, growing lavender. we have been so i'm here with a group that have to ensure that we break tens with lavender at miss didn't got meals like ramming it with tripods are stepping on the plants and i are leaving beer bottles or cigarettes or gorgeous light around and was home i think of it like being in someone's living english, been embed should leave the place in your same state. i found a dental office on get off the photo to it, lasts for a week and the group is on the go day and night. because in the dark, a whole new side of the lavender fields comes to light. fabio loves mysteriously in

shooting at night. can be tricky. so the, there shouldn't be too much light pollution though some find like that's also really cool. it's ok the just have the black, my, the sky and minucci way is that sometimes it's also nice when there's a bit of a glowing from the city. down below i lost i thought, whether classical or modern in the lavender fields, every one is sure to find the picture perfect image. absolutely gorgeous. and with that we have come to the end of another program. we hope you enjoyed the show and don't forget to follow us on social media for more content from all over europe. for me and the whole your mike's team here in berlin . thanks for watching and see you next time. hope you all have a wonderful weekend. take care with
