Helene Fischer

Helene Fischer (b. Jelena Petrowna Fischer in 1984) is a Russian-German singer and entertainer, successfully combining "Schlager" and pop.

When she appeared on the live show Das Herbstfest der Träume on October 12, 2013, show host and boyfriend Florian Silbereisen ambushed her with surprise guests from Sesamstrasse (Ernie, Bert, Wolf, Elmo and Preston Rabbit), who bribed and convinced her to pay a visit to "the street" for a special holiday installment of their Ernie & Bert Songs, to be filmed the following year.

The behind-the-scenes goings-on were documented in the show Das Magazin zum Herbstfest.
