'Maestro' director and star Bradley Cooper made an inconspicuous appearance at the NYFF premiere, skipping press in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA.
Fitting for a film that focuses on legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein, the starry premiere marked a homecoming given its location: David Geffen Hall, home of the New York Philharmonic. On Sept. 23, 1962, Bernstein and the Philharmonic performed the inaugural concert at the venue. Bernstein served as the orchestra’s conductor from 1958 to 1969 and laureate conductor from 1969 to 1990.
Carey Mulligan, who leads the film opposite Cooper as the conductor’s wife Felicia Montealegre, did not attend. On Monday night at NYFF, Cooper sat through the sold-out screening and clapped loudly when the filmmakers and artisans behind “Maestro” and Bernstein’s children were introduced. However, he did not take the stage or speak to the crowd out of solidarity with SAG-AFTRA, as the guild continues to strike.
