Three years ago, San Diego Repertory Theatre audiences were the first in the country to see Hershey Felder’s play with music about the famed Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
On Sunday, Rep audiences revisited the play in a livecast from Florence, Italy, where Felder has set up a streaming production company while he waits out the pandemic. Just as the play’s delivery format has changed, so has the play itself.
The Canadian playwright/pianist/actor/producer turned “Hershey Felder: Tchaikovsky” into a filmlike study of the emotionally tortured composer’s life, rather than the traditional direct address to the audience where he plays both composer and narrator.
The Blue Danube
No other piece of music better illustrates the ‘flop to hit’ reversal than Johann Strauss II’s By the Beautiful Blue Danube. Here’s a waltz everybody knows, but the audience at its premiere did not entirely go with the flow. The work was intended to boost Viennese morale after Austria’s defeat at the hands of Prussia in the Seven Weeks’ War. And so it might have, had ‘humorous’ lyrics intended to make light of Austria’s problems not then been added. The first-night crowd hated them and the piece received just one encore making it, in Strauss’s terms, a disaster.
