HERSHEY FELDER AS IRVING BERLIN

Presented by Arizona Theatre Company

Lyrics & Music by
IRVING BERLIN
Book by HERSHEY FELDER

From the depths of Czarist Russia, to New York’s Lower East Side, and ultimately all of America and the world, Irving Berlin’s story epitomizes the American dream. Hershey Felder, a bravura performer, compelling storyteller, and superb concert pianist, who thrilled us with George Gershwin Alone, returns to ATC in another tour-de-force. This time, Felder brings to vibrant life the remarkable story of “America’s Composer.” Featuring Irving Berlin’s most popular and enduring songs – from “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” to “God Bless America” to “White Christmas” – Hershey Felder’s performance makes this evening an unforgettable journey.

Brundibar in Tucson
Sep 20 @ 3:00 pm

Arizona Opera presents:

Brundibár is a one-act children’s opera by Krása and Hoffmeister that premiered in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. This incredible act of artistic defiance concerns two young siblings who go into town to buy milk for their sick mother. However, the evil organ-grinder, Brundibár, blocks their every move. But, with the help of their animal and human friends, they all work together to win the day, learning the power and importance of community. This beautiful allegory is accessible to audiences of all ages.
