Sophia Cordalis celebrated her first show appearance as an angel. The six-year-old was one of the stars at the “Advent Festival of 100,000 Lights”.
Florian Silbereisen (40) welcomed many prominent guests in his show “The Advent Festival of 100,000 Lights” on Saturday evening. One of them was only six years old and celebrated his show premiere: Sophia Cordalis. Together with her parents Daniela Katzenberger (35) and Lucas Cordalis (54), she appeared on the primetime show.
Lucas Cordalis pulled his wife and daughter onto the stage in a sleigh in front of a Christmas backdrop. Then he started the classic “Jingle Bells” with Daniela Katzenberger, who wore a dark, glittery dress. Sophia enchants in a white angel costume and, together with two other children, kept her parents company on stage. At the end of the performance, Daniela Katzenberger kissed her husband. And her daughter revealed to Florian Silbereisen that she was excited before the show. There was also a little snowball fight to be seen.
“Music in the Blood”
Father Cordalis had already revealed in advance that he was “as proud as Oskar of Sophia”. “I have a tear in my eye during the performance”, he said “picture”. He is also sure: “Costa is watching us from above and is just as proud as I am of his granddaughter.” Sophia’s grandfather, pop star Costa Cordalis, died in 2019 at the age of 75. Does Sophia want to follow in the footsteps of her famous grandfather? “I can see how comfortable she feels on stage,” said Cordalis. “Sophia simply has music in her blood.”
