UPDATE: Renowned pianist and playwright Hershey Felder is set to thrill audiences once again in the Bay Area with a world premiere of his latest show, “Hershey Felder: The Piano and Me,” launching on January 17, 2026. This exciting new production will run through February 8, 2026, at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts.
TheatreWorks Silicon Valley just announced this eagerly anticipated return, quelling any concerns that his previous show, “Rachmaninoff and the Tsar,” would be his last performance in the area. Felder’s unique ability to weave personal narratives with classical music has captivated audiences, breaking attendance records for the theater company.
In this autobiographical performance, Felder will explore the works of legendary composers such as Wagner and Mendelssohn, offering an intimate look into the history and context behind their creations. “What I’m looking to do with these characters is to illuminate the context of what people do not know,” Felder shared in a recent interview. His productions have been recognized for their depth, engaging audiences with the untold stories behind the music.
Tickets, priced between $34 and $115, are now available at theatreworks.org. The Mountain View Center is located at 500 Castro St, making it accessible for all who wish to experience this remarkable event.
Fans and newcomers alike are encouraged to secure their seats early for this world premiere, as Felder’s previous shows have consistently sold out. The excitement surrounding his return indicates that this performance will be no different.
As the start date approaches, keep an eye on updates from TheatreWorks Silicon Valley for any additional details regarding the show. This is a must-see for anyone passionate about music and storytelling.
