A singer sings - or so you think.
But it's not quite as simple as that: they not only have to be able to sing, but also act.
He has to practice his voice just as intensively as he does musical and scenic rehearsals.
He must have an extensive repertoire up his sleeve and still enchant the audience anew with every performance.
Heldentenor Klaus Florian Vogt sings at the world's most renowned opera houses.
All solo singers dream of going freelance by the age of 40 at the latest.
Klaus Florian Vogt is one of those whose dreams have come true, because he has a special talent: he sings dramatic Wagner roles with apparent ease, which many others would dread.
A total of 100 performances per year.
In order not to stand still as an artist, he continues to take regular lessons: if possible, he works with his 75-year-old singing teacher several times a month.
He does not see his four children grow up, he usually only sees them on the phone.
He has to put up with this for the dream of being a celebrated opera singer who is in demand worldwide.
