Film at Lincoln Center announces Bradley Cooper\u2019s Maestro<\/i> as the Spotlight Gala of the 61st New York Film Festival at David Geffen Hall on October 2. Making its North American premiere, Maestro <\/i>joins the <\/span>previously announced<\/a><\/span> Opening Night, Centerpiece, and Closing Night films in the NYFF slate of gala presentations.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his directorial follow-up to “A Star Is Born<\/i><\/strong>,” Bradley Cooper dramatizes the public and private lives of legendary musician Leonard Bernstein with sensitivity, visual ingenuity, and symphonic splendor. Coasting on the boundless energy of its subject\u2019s runaway genius, Maestro<\/i> transports the viewer back to a vividly re-created postwar New York, when Bernstein (Cooper) began his stratospheric rise to international fame as both a conductor and composer, and when he first met Felicia (Carey Mulligan), the actress whom he would marry and spend his life with. “Maestro”<\/i> is a tender, often intensely emotional film about the different faces one wears when living in the public eye, depicting the complicated yet devoted decades-spanning relationship between Leonard and Felicia. Fueled by Cooper and Mulligan\u2019s perfectly matched duet of towering performances, Matthew Libatique\u2019s balletic cinematography, and, of course, Bernstein\u2019s thrilling music, “Maestro”\u00a0<\/i>is a tour de force for its director. A Netflix release.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cMaestro<\/i> is a bravura achievement for its director and star, a work of conviction and imagination that does justice to the brilliance and complexity of its subject,\u201d said Dennis Lim, Artistic Director, New York Film Festival. \u201cWe are honored to have Bradley Cooper\u2019s enthralling film as a gala presentation at this year\u2019s festival, and doubly so to be showing it in a venue that is synonymous with Leonard Bernstein.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe New York Film Festival is proud to present the North American debut of Maestro<\/i>, Bradley Cooper\u2019s tour de force film about the life of renowned conductor, composer, and musician Leonard Bernstein,\u201d said Lesli Klainberg, President, Film at Lincoln Center. \u201cIt is particularly significant that this is the first film to premiere in the new David Geffen Hall, home of the New York Philharmonic, which Bernstein famously led for over a decade, and where NYFF began in 1963. This state-of-the-art presentation was realized with the collaboration of our colleagues at the New York Philharmonic and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and supported by our friends at Netflix and Dolby.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The New York Film Festival audience will experience “Maestro”\u00a0<\/i>with the ultra-vivid colors of Dolby Vision and the immersive sound of Dolby Atmos. A Dolby Vision projection system and a Dolby Atmos sound system will be installed by Dolby and its technical partners in David Geffen Hall specifically for the Maestro<\/i> premiere, transforming the venue into a state-of-the-art cinema equipped with Dolby\u2019s cutting-edge technology for the one-night-only experience.<\/span><\/p>\n
