Netflix is going all out for Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro.”
They’re taking over David Geffen Hall — aka Avery Fisher Hall — on February 14th.
The invite is to see members of the New York Philharmonic and conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin play selections from the “Maestro” soundtrack. This will be followed by an onstage Q&A.
They don’t say this, but my guess is Bradley Cooper will step to the podium even briefly to conduct that orchestra. After all, he spent six years training for this moment.
This sensational idea takes a page from the “Oppenheimer” playbook. I just saw the movie played along with a live orchestra of music from composer Ludwig Goransson.
But this a notch up even from that exciting night. Leonard Bernstein’s life was spent in Geffen Hall — then known as Philharmonic Hall. I hope Geffen himself puts in an appearance. This is not to be missed!
