Blessed with hymns of praise, top places in competitions and on critics' lists, Grammys and cash prizes, the 34-year-old singer is considered by Der Spiegel to be the "heir to Billie Holiday" and by the New York Times simply "the best jazz singer of the last decade". An old soul with futuristic ambitions and a voice so contemporary that it can transcend space and time - that is Cécile McLorin Salvant. She shines especially in concert with her sensitive power band and captivates the audience - sometimes exuberant, the next moment sensually gentle - always with this disarmingly honest mixture of suffering and happiness. With her top-class band, she convinces her audience around the world. The critic writes about her performance at the Edinburgh Festival in 2023: "This will be a short review. In fact, I am tempted to just write the word 'sensational' and leave it at that."

Prinzregententheater

The Prinzregententheater, or Prince Regent Theatre, is a theatre and opera house located at 12 Prinzregentenplatz in theBavarian city of Munich, Germany.

 

Initiated by Ernst von Possart, the theatre was built in the Prinzregentenstrasse as a festival hall for the operas of Richard Wagner near an area where a similar project of King Ludwig II had failed some decades before. Named after Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria the building was designed by Max Littmann and opened 21 August 1901 with a production of "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" by Richard Wagner. Like the Bayreuth theatre, the auditorium was designed to Wagner’s specifications, however an amphitheater has replaced the loges.

 

After the destruction of the Nationaltheater during World War II, the Prinzregententheater housed the Bavarian State Operafrom 1944 to 1963 even though it also suffered damage during the war which was not repaired until 1958. Since its renovation in 1988, the Prinzregententheater, with 1122 seats, has served also for the Bavarian Staatsschauspiel and now houses the Bavarian Theatre Academy founded by August Everding. Another theatre in the building, the Akademietheateror Academy Theatre, seats 300.
