Official Steinway Artist Joja Wendt is a master of exceptional, expressive piano playing and a Formula 1 driver with a finger tempo that the human eye cannot follow. Experiencing Joja Wendt at the piano means not only pure perfection but also passion, temperament, and a great deal of humor that enthralls the audience to standing ovations even before the intermission. His new program "Play a Bit Softer!" is a biographical live show in its most virtuosic and charming form. On his new tour, Joja Wendt presents piano artistry and entertainment at a world-class level, but one thing is certain: he will not play softer! At the Prinzregententheater, Joja Wendt reveals why this phrase has accompanied him throughout his life and why it was good not to heed it. The virtuoso wryly describes his new stage work as "probably the most entertaining piano concert in the world"!

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.
