In the show, Europe's most successful pop star enchants the people in front of the TV with her music in the intimate atmosphere of a theater. Helene Fischer relies on a special collaboration for a glittering evening: as music supervisor, Stefan Raab designs the live performance of the songs from her new album "Rausch" together with Helene Fischer. On stage, the artist will perform these unique versions of her songs with a live band. This show will not only be a musical highlight. In conversation with Steven Gätjen, Helene Fischer will give her fans unusual insights into her life and career on this evening: What meaning do the individual songs have for the singer? What makes "Rausch" probably her most personal album?
This special has the band hiring a slick-talking new manager in an attempt to make a comeback.

Filmed at their Royal Albert Hall debut gig in September 2000, Bond Live is a slick showcase for four classically trained, ex-session musicians and their fusion of string quartet and rock music. Whatever the hype (four beautiful women wearing scanty tops and dancing with violins while backed by a five-piece rock combo and a small, rarely seen string section), it has nothing to do with making classical music cool and everything to do with sex. In "Duel," first and second violins Haylie Ecker and Eos trade licks "guitar-hero" style, and most of the tracks are new instrumentals written for the album Born, though "The 1812" does manage to reduce Tchaikovsky's overture to a five-minute dance number. With rock-show lighting, synthesizers, dance beats, and a finale involving the "James Bond Theme" followed by a Rio-style fiesta for the closing "Victory--Carnival Mix," this is camp, melodramatic, sexy fun.
After the success of the live 1957 Cinderella on CBS (with Julie Andrews), the network decided to produce another television version. The new script hewed closer to the traditional tale, although nearly all of the original songs were retained and performed in their original settings. Added to the Rodgers and Hammerstein score was "Loneliness of Evening", which had been composed for South Pacific but not used.
