They still exist, the trades long thought to be extinct.
Master shoemaker Kornelia Thon works at the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
She not only repairs shoes, but also makes them to measure in her workshop.
Together with costume designers and the production management, every detail is coordinated with the concept of a production, from the crown to the sole.
Together with four employees, journeymen and apprentices, she makes all the stage shoes herself that cannot be bought.
Singers' and actors' feet are naturally a sensitive area to work in.
The stage shoes must be made in such a way that the performer does not have to think about them while working.
On the other hand, the shoes can also have a major influence on the design of the stage character.
The master shoemaker's credo is: "The performance always has to do with the appearance!"
