Born in 2002 in St. Petersburg to a family of musicians, Ivan Bessonov is considered a rising star in the international piano elite. The "young hothead" (SZ) studied at the Moscow Conservatory and has won, among others, the Grand Prix at the International Chopin Piano Competition, as well as first prizes at the Anton Rubinstein Piano Competition and the Rachmaninov Competition.
"The pianist Ivan Bessonov once wore out ten piano teachers. Now he triumphs in Munich with Bach and Prokofiev: It is a highly virtuosic performance and intellectual artistry that combines the complex with the naturally compelling, creating world-class musical theater that transcends the individual." (SZ Mauro)

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.
