"The insightful narrative complemented by extraordinary music is fascinating from beginning to end. Felder masters the role of Chopin so perfectly that you will find yourself believing the musical genius has come alive before your eyes. "

"I truly appreciated the extent of the production and being able to consider the full breadth of Chopin’s artistry throughout his life and to be able to see and hear how it grew and matured. This is historical, musical storytelling that will leave you informed, more knowledgable, and completely entertained."

“This show whets one’s appetite to learn more about the great Romantic composer-musician. While ‘Monsieur Chopin’ will be catnip for Chopin aficionados, this solo show can be enjoyed by anybody who has a curiosity about the great pianist-composer and an interest in Romantic music.”
