Step into the extraordinary world of Rachmaninoff and the Tsar, a mesmerizing theatrical journey that intertwines music, history, and memory. This poignant play breathes life into the legendary pianist-composer Sergei Rachmaninoff (Hershey Felder) as he navigates the twilight of his life in 1940s Beverly Hills. Haunted by memories of his homeland and a fateful encounter with Russia’s last Tsar, Nicholas II, (Jonathan Silvestri) and the Grand Duchess Anastasia, Rachmaninoff’s story explores themes of exile, identity and legacy. Featuring Rachmaninoff’s most iconic compositions—his C# minor Prelude, the Second Piano Concerto and the Paganini Variations—this production is both a tribute to his genius and a meditation on the enduring bond between an artist and his homeland.
