In 1963, the Argentinian composer Ariel Ramirez created a hit with his "Misa Criolla" for solo tenor, mixed choir, percussion, piano and traditional instruments from the Andean region, which went around the world. The combination of familiar liturgy with Latin American folklore and the instruments of the region resulted in a mass of enchanting magic that immediately transports the audience into the atmospheric experience of a Latin American Christmas. The text corresponds to the official Spanish mass liturgy, but the individual parts all have a specific rhythm, each of which comes from a region of Argentina. The program is supplemented by other Latin American Christmas carols that create a very special Advent magic.

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.
