The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts presents “Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin,” a one-time, live streamed broadcast from Florence, Italy, to benefit The Wallis on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10, at 5 p.m.

Felder, who has received international acclaim for his productions about the lives of composers such as Debussy, Tchaikovsky, Gershwin, Beethoven, Chopin and Bernstein, brings to life the inspiring, family-friendly story of “America’s Composer,” Irving Berlin. Fleeing the anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia, capturing the rhythms of the Lower East Side and eventually enchanting the world with his music, Berlin epitomized the American dream. Featuring some of Berlin’s most popular and enduring songs, from “God Bless America” and “There’s No Business Like Show Business” to “Blue Skies” and “White Christmas,” Felder’s signature creation of character and musical performance weaves a narrative around Berlin’s 101-year lifespan, including his long relationship with his wife, battles against anti-Semitism and his storied music.

Directed by Trevor Hay, the production premiered in October 2014 at the Geffen Playhouse.

“To present this event, here in Florence we have recreated the set of Irving Berlin’s home on Beekman Place in Manhattan, and we have a film crew that has been safe and in quarantine,” Felder said. “If you’ve seen the production some time ago, there is some new additional material that speaks to our times as well as a few surprises. Because audiences always request the now infamous audience encore, we have even made it possible for you to ask your questions by cell phone text directly to me during the encore section, and I will answer live, just as I do in the theater. And yes, we will be coming to you live from our stage at 1 a.m. in Italy, 5 p.m. on the West Coast, 7 p.m. in the Midwest and 8 p.m. on the East Coast, in honor of the beautiful theaters across the nation, and in honor of all the mothers on this unusual and special Mother’s Day.”

“Hershey Felder comes to us live from Italy to reprise one of his most celebrated shows in a Mother’s Day gift for the whole family,” added The Wallis’ Artistic Director Paul Crewes. “We encourage our audiences not to miss this special opportunity to spend some time with one The Wallis’ most popular performers.”

Tickets are $50 per household for viewing on a Smart TV, computer, smartphone or tablet. Viewing will be available for an additional 72 hours following the live performance. To purchase, call (310)746-4000, or visit thewallis.org/berlin.
