TheatreWorks Silicon Valley made the announcement earlier today, confirming that Felder’s new autobiographical show will feature music from renowned composers like Wagner and Mendelssohn. Fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Felder’s previous performance, “Rachmaninoff and the Tsar,” was not the end of his contributions to the Bay Area’s vibrant arts scene.

Felder has a history of breaking attendance records with his captivating portrayals of classical music giants. His performances have elegantly intertwined the lives and works of legendary composers, including Beethoven, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky. Since his debut in 1998 with “George Gershwin Alone,” Felder has consistently delivered theatrical experiences that educate and entertain.

In a recent interview with the Bay Area News Group, Felder emphasized the importance of understanding composers within their historical context. He stated, “What I’ve been looking to do with these characters is to illuminate the context of what people do not know.” This unique approach allows audiences to connect with the music on a deeper level, enriching their experience.

Tickets for this world premiere are now available, ranging from $34 to $115. Given Felder’s track record, swift action is recommended for those interested in attending. Visit theatreworks.org for ticket purchases and more information.
