The film, which is co-written, directed and led by Bradley Cooper, is set to take an in-depth look at the acclaimed composer’s life, his 25-year marriage to actress Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein (Carey Mulligan) and the various romantic affairs he had with men and women.
The synopsis reads: “Maestro is a towering and fearless love story chronicling the lifelong relationship between cultural icon Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein.
A love letter to life and art, Maestro, at its core, is an emotionally epic portrayal of family and love.” In addition to Cooper and Mulligan, the upcoming film is set to star Maya Hawke as Jamie Bernstein, Gideon Glick as Tommy Cathron, Michael Urie as Jerome Robbins, Sam Nivola as Alexander Bernstein, Miriam Shor as Cynthia O’Neal, and Alex Swinton as Nina Bernstein.
