The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts announced two live streamed musical events produced by Hershey Felder Presents – Live from Florence, featuring Hershey Felder. The one-time only, live streamed programs include Felder as Claude Debussy in “A Paris Love Story” on Sunday, Nov. 22, at  5 p.m. and in “Tchaikovsky” on Sunday, Dec. 20, at 5 p.m.

Felder doubles as playwright and performer in both performances with proceeds benefiting The Wallis.

Felder takes the audience on his own personal journey in “A Paris Love Story” as he explores the life and music of Impressionist composer Debussy, bringing to life a visionary who proclaimed nature his religion and romance his milieu. From the sweeping “La Mer” to the evocative “Prélude à l’après-midi d’un Faune” and the mystical “Clair de Lune,” the celebrated composer created extraordinary music. “Tchaikovsky – Live from Florence” is based on the original production of “Our Great Tchaikovsky,” and features an extended focus on “The Nutcracker” ballet as well as Tchaikovsky’s life in Florence, Italy where he spent considerable time.

“The Wallis is delighted to continue its long running and highly successful collaboration with Hershey Felder to present these two compelling digital productions,” The Wallis Artistic Director Paul Crewes said. “His ability to pivot from presenting live in-person performances to producing extremely high quality live-streamed programs from Italy during the pandemic reflects his vision and commitment. His artistry continues to draw ever-expanding audiences with these digital performances.”
