On Sunday, San Diego Repertory Theatre will present the world premiere of “Hershey Felder: Puccini,” the Canadian-born playwright/pianist/actor’s latest composer-based play with music, streaming live from his home in Florence, Italy.
The production will feature an international cast of leading opera singers that include American baritone Nathan Gunn, American tenor Charles Castronovo, Russian soprano Ekaterina Siurina and Canadian soprano Gianna Corbisiero.
Felder wrote the script and will co-star in the production as its title subject, Italian opera composer Giacomo Puccini.
