Is Hayato Sumino an influencer? With 1.3 million followers on YouTube, the answer is clear. The young Japanese artist uses his influence to the fullest: under the artist name "Cateen," he captivates audiences with his virtuoso piano playing in the virtual realm, reaching even those who might otherwise have little exposure to classical music. In Asia, he is a sensation, not only online but also in concert halls, with his recent tour of Japan having sold out 24 recitals. The twenty-something has also proven his class in traditional ways: in 2018, he won the Grand Prix at the PTNA Piano Competition, in 2021 he reached the semifinals of the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, and he has just signed an exclusive contract with Sony Classical.
In his solo evening at the Prinzregententheater, he will perform works by Bach, Scriabin, and Kapustin, along with his own interpretation of Ravel’s "Boléro" and a selection of his own compositions. YouTube star, piano virtuoso, composer: His versatility is astonishingly still not fully defined. Hayato Sumino studied engineering at the University of Tokyo and conducted research on music information processing. It is high time to get to know this remarkable young man.

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.
The Prince Regent theater is reached very well both by car and by public transportation MVV.
