Der deutsche Countertenor Klaus Nomi war ein Fixpunkt in der Performance-Kunstszene des New Yorker East Village der späten 70er Jahre.
Seine gro�e Coming-Out-Party fand 1979 statt, als er zusammen mit David Bowie beim Saturday Night Live auftrat. Sein selbstbetiteltes Debütalbum von 1981 gilt allgemein als seine krönende künstlerische Leistung und zeigt seinen krassen Stimmumfang und seine kompromisslose künstlerische Vision. -
