‘Maestro’ Teaser Trailer: Bradley Cooper Channels Leonard Bernstein

The first Maestro teaser trailer focuses on the relationship between legendary composer Leonard Bernstein (nine-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper, A Star is Born, American Sniper, American Hustle) and Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein (Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan, Promising Young Woman, An Education). In the minute-and-a-half trailer, Leonard and Felicia are shown sharing private moments in a park, with Cooper’s Leonard describing the pair as “two little ducks in a pond.”

Maestro was a project that three-time Oscar winner Steven Spielberg was interested in directing. After speaking with Bradley Cooper and watching A Star is Born (starring and directed by Cooper), Spielberg believed Cooper should star in and direct Maestro. Cooper agreed, and also co-wrote the screenplay with Josh Singer.

Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan are joined on screen by Matt Bomer, Maya Hawke, Sarah Silverman, and Josh Hamilton. Scott Ellis, Gideon Glick, Sam Nivola, Alexa Swinton, and Miriam Shor also star.

Spielberg remains involved as a producer along with Cooper, Martin Scorsese, Fred Berner, Amy Durning, and Kristie Macosko Krieger. Carla Raij, Josh Singer, Bobby Wilhelm, Weston Middleton, and Tracey Landon executive produce.

Netflix describes the film as a “towering and fearless love story chronicling the lifelong relationship between 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.”

Netflix plans to release Maestro in select theaters on November 22, 2023 followed by a streaming premiere on December 20.
