tells a story of a German journalist posing as migrant who was posing as a worker for two years.
But it was only a pose.
Opera tells story of German journalist who posed as migrant worker for two years – Docu-opera explores encounters and ethics of Günter Wallraff’s undercover work in 1980s, which he now describes as an existential necessity.
It’s “GER” like germ and then “MAN” like man.
Just say them together kind of fast.
Anything else I can help you out with?
Germany is one of the best places to make a career as an opera singer, with 80 opera houses and billions of Euros in federal support. But mastering German pronunciation can be difficult.
The new Elbphilharmonie!!
Instead of costing the planned 77 million euros it ended up costing Hamburg 800 million instead!!!
Breathtaking or something. Enjoy your status while you can, Hamburg. Just wait until the final cost for Berlin’s airport gets determined. If it ever does, I mean. We will CRUSH you!

Asking for naked volunteers in Germany is kind of like asking if anybody is interested in having some Freibier (free beer). Especially when the nakedness has to do with uplifting Kunst and culture and crap like that. Not to mention, heaven forbid, Richard Wagner himself.
That’s why American photographer Spencer Tunick shamelessly exploited this German schamelessness and painted a whole heap of naked Germans red and gold for his art installation interpretation thingy of scenes from the opera “Der Ring des Nibelungen.”
Art for art’s sake or something. Let’s get nekkid. Boy, I’m arted out for this week. EntARTet, so-to-speak.
