  3. TheatreWorks Silicon Valley Presents "Our Great Tchaikovsky"


TheatreWorks Silicon Valley continues its 2017/2018 season with the regional premiere of "Our Great Tchaikovsky," written and performed by Hershey Felder. Through the hands and insight of piano virtuoso Felder, composer Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky springs to life in this time bending tale which explores both current Russian politics and historical context. From the unforgettable ballets, "Swan Lake," "Sleeping Beauty," and "The Nutcracker," to the outrageous "1812 Overture" and his brilliant symphonic works, this powerful music journey travels from Czarist times to today, bringing vivid life to a haunted genius. Felder has become an enormous Bay Area favorite; audiences packed the regional premiere of "Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin" and his premiere of his reworking of "Hershey Felder, Beethoven," continuing to set all-time box office records for TheatreWorks.

TheatreWorks Silicon Valley continues its 2018/19 season with the World Premiere of Hershey Felder: A Paris Love Story, written and performed by piano virtuoso Hershey Felder, who shattered box office records at TheatreWorks with his acclaimed portrayals of Irving Berlin, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky. Now, Felder captures the life and music of Impressionist composer Claude Debussy, a visionary who proclaimed nature his religion, creating music of ravishing beauty, color, and compassion, from the sweeping "La mer" to the evocative "Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune" and the mystical "Clair de lune." Intertwined with Debussy's story, Felder for the first time shares his own deeply personal connection to the City of Light. Directed by Trevor Hay, Hershey Felder: A Paris Love Story will be presented April 3 - May 5, 2019 (press opening: April 6, 2019) at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, 500 Castro Street, Mountain View. For tickets ($40-$120) and more information the public may visit TheatreWorks.org or call (650) 463-1960.
