Sarah Engels ascends to fame as a celebrated musician
Sarah Engels, a well-known singer from Germany's popular talent show "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" (DSDS), is set to expand her career into the world of musicals. The singer, who recently welcomed a daughter in 2021 with her husband Julian, will be making her musical debut as the lead character, Satine, in the opulent production of "Moulin Rouge!" in Cologne, starting from November 13.
Engels, known for her powerful vocals and captivating stage presence, had to audition for the role and presented herself to the entire creative team with singing and acting. The musical, based on the 2001 film of the same name, starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, is renowned for its demanding roles and the physical and mental strain they impose.
Rehearsals for the production have already begun, and Engels is currently preparing for the opulent costumes, including wearing a corset and practicing movements in high heels. Singing while wearing a corset is a new challenge for Engels, as it restricts her and reduces air intake.
The creative team for "Moulin Rouge!" includes people from New York's Broadway, promising a spectacular and authentic production. Engels will be performing in 15 shows as Satine, a woman who loves the stage but also struggles with the darker side of show business.
Despite the demanding nature of the work, including multiple shows per day and evening performances, Engels expresses uncertainty about a long-term career in musicals due to her desire to spend time with her family. However, Engels is excited about this new challenge and the opportunity to explore a different aspect of her artistry.
Outside of "Moulin Rouge!", Engels has a busy schedule, including her social media presence with 1.8 million Instagram followers. She has released a lot of her own music and has appeared in numerous TV formats, including "Let's Dance", "The Masked Singer", and "Dancing on Ice".
With her family-oriented nature and passion for music and performance, Engels is sure to bring a unique and compelling portrayal of Satine to the stage. Don't miss your chance to witness this incredible talent in the enchanting world of "Moulin Rouge!".
