Performing on a stage with your idol – only a few can make this dream come true. In every “Happy Day” broadcast, a dream like this comes true. Moderator Röbi Koller looks back on five special star duets.
Helene Fischer and Anita with “You touched my heart”
The Bucher farming family loves music, but daughter Anita not only sings folk songs and practices yodeling at home, she also occasionally sings a song by her idol Helene Fischer at a family celebration. The learned cook works in a retirement home, where she is surprised by a disguised Röbi Koller. Anita can hardly believe that she is allowed to sing a duet with Helene Fischer. After their performance, Röbi Koller is sure that he had just experienced a “magical moment”. A year later, Anita Bucher won the SRF folk music show “Alpenrose” with her sister.
Semino Rossi and Claudia with “But you only exist once for me”
Argentine-born Claudia Scholze has a lot in common with her idol Semino Rossi. Like the pop star, she sang with her father as a child and emigrated from South America to Europe. Claudia’s father died a few years ago, but his dream that his daughter would one day sing on the big stage came true with “Happy Day”. The fact that Semino Rossi dresses up as a taxi driver and surprises Claudia in person is the icing on the cake.

Göla and Kathrin with “Indians”
Nursing specialist Kathrin enjoyed yodeling as a child and wanted her yodeling club to be included in the star duet with Gölä. They succeeded. Looking back, Röbi Koller says it was no coincidence that Gölä combined rock’n’roll with yodeling in his next album, “the idea for it came from this star duet.”
Beatrice Egli and Marina with “We live loud”
When Marina is surprised by Beatrice Egli while working, she literally falls to her knees. Beatrice Egli is her greatest idol, “I can let go through singing.” After the performance on “Happy Day”, Beatrice Egli encouraged the then 16-year-old and brought Marina back on stage for a duet at her concert in Basel.
Howard Carpendale and Monika with “Hello again”
Monika is a huge fan of Howard Carpendale: she has been listening to his music for 38 years and went to one of his concerts in 1985 as an 18-year-old. His music gives her strength. “I can immerse myself in another world and recharge my batteries.” She sings the hit “Hello again” with the pop legend.
