Colony. War, inflation, energy crisis: Helene Fischer (38) is not without a trace. But she processes it in her own way: “If I’m worried, if I look at ‘everyday topics’, if I’m reading the paper and I just have to process certain things for myself, then I just pick certain songs for it, like ‘When we wake up’ The song, released in 2021, says, among other things: “How can we destroy ourselves like this, feel nothing and feel nothing: what else has to happen?”
German Schlager superstar Helene Fischer came to Cologne on Wednesday to once again advertise her big concert tour next year. In a red turtleneck and black leather pants, she sits on a stage in a converted Imperial-era swimming pool happily answering questions. Information about her private life should not be obtained, this has been clarified above.
Fischer has been in a relationship with acrobat Thomas Seitel since 2018 and is now the mother of a daughter. Last year she said in an interview with “Zeit” that she was trying to strictly protect her private life. But she assured, “If you experience me in private, all superlatives vanish.” She again says something like, “Of course I’m not perfect. I’m really super relaxed and actually quite normal.”
Helene Fischer gives concerts in Leipzig
The dimensions in which he designs his performances are anything but normal. The tour in the next year includes 70 concerts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The stations are Bremen, Cologne, Hamburg, Dortmund, Leipzig (April 25 – 30, 2023), Stuttgart, Oberhausen, Berlin, Mannheim, Hanover, Vienna, Zurich, Munich and Frankfurt. The start is scheduled for March 21, 2023 in Bremen, the last concert on October 8, 2023 in Frankfurt am Main.
The event industry is one of the biggest victims of the Corona crisis, but that doesn’t seem to apply to Fischer. One is very pleased with the presale, says a spokeswoman. As for the arts, it is the case that Fischer collaborates for the first time with the Canadian art and theater arts company Cirque du Soleil. This means that you can expect not just a concert, but a show. With artistic depth, as Helene Fischer points out. The goal is to create images you will never forget.
And there is a lot to do: 40 musicians, dancers and artists, 75 other participants, six tour buses, 20 articulated lorries, 130 pairs of shoes, a water basin with a diameter of five meters… everything should be mega. And Corona? “At some point it has to go up again,” she told the German news agency. “I would be very concerned if we were still discussing whether events are possible next spring.”
I recommend to other musicians
Especially in times like these, it is very important for the public to simply switch off and leave everyday life behind. “Obviously I am aware that every family has to watch money right now and that you can no longer afford to attend several concerts a month,” she admits in an interview with dpa. “It’s all the more important to me to create a show that you can take home with you lasting and treasured memories.”
And the others? Those musicians who are not Helene Fischer? Does she have any advice to give you? It’s hard to give a hint from her universe about her, she says. But: “I’m pretty sure a band that’s gotten together, or artists who make music and sing with passion, aren’t going to let the pandemic stop them.”
Sure, at some point it’s bittersweet to realize that the audience is shrinking a bit. “I would still go on in their place. This is our voice, music is our voice, people need music, people need entertainment. I really think we would all die like saplings if we didn’t have that.” And that’s why his advice is: “Keep going!” (dpa)
