At the “Advent Festival of 100,000 Lights” Barbara Schöneberger surprised Florian Silbereisen with a suddenly torn dress.
Suhl – On Saturday evening (December 2nd), Florian Silbereisen (42) enthusiastically welcomed his audience to the “Advent Festival of 100,000 Lights” for the 20th time. He announced that he wanted to celebrate the “Christmas anniversary” with “many, many stars”: “From Wincent Weiss to Andrea Berg, from Guido Maria Kretschmer to Mireille Mathieu, from Maite Kelly to DJ Ötzi, from Chris Steger to Andy Borg, from Michelle to Till Brönner, from Vicky Leandros to Roland Kaiser. And even she came to us this evening: Nana Mouskouri.”
“Advent Festival of 100,000 Lights”: Silbereisen wants to show Barbara Schöneberger’s dress “in all its glory”
Silbereisen, who recently caused inconsistencies on the “Dream Ship,” welcomed Barbara Schöneberger (49), whom he immediately picked up from a Christmas backdrop as the music started and sang “It’s snowing” with her as “First Lady.” Barbara Schöneberger wore a one-shoulder dress made of red satin with XXL puffed sleeves and walked down a staircase with silver irons in her hand between children dressed in winter clothes.
Once at the bottom, the children went sledding on the artificial snow to match the lyrics of the song and an artificial snowman was built. The two singers seemed to enjoy the performance. “Oh, that’s nice, Barbara!” Silbereisen then exclaimed enthusiastically and pulled the running Barbara, who will host the “Starnacht am Wörthersee” for the 25th time next year, back to her because he saw her dress “in all its splendour “ wanted to show.
“It’s torn underneath”: Barbara Schöneberger with a broken dress at Silbereisen
The moderator probably didn’t expect this reaction: Barbara Schöneberger thanked her and smoothed her dress. However, immediately afterwards, she lifted her skirt and showed viewers what was underneath – namely another tighter skirt with a high slit. “I put my skirt over it because it was torn underneath.”
This honesty, which didn’t quite fit the fairytale setting, elicited a laugh from Florian Silbereisen and then he quickly changed the subject with the words “Barbara… it’s snowing.” The curious viewer might have wanted to know whether the dress had torn before the show began or whether this had happened during the song while climbing stairs, pulling a sleigh or building a snowman. At least it wasn’t clear when the faux pas happened. But behind the scenes, Barbara Schöneberger sometimes has reason to be upset.
