Maestro drops on the streamer on 20 September. It will be followed by a UK cinema release on 24 November.
“A love letter to life and art”
Netflix has described the film as “a love letter to life and art, Maestro at its core is an emotionally epic portrayal of family and love.”
Maestro also stars Matt Bomer, Maya Hawke, Sarah Silverman, Josh Hamilton, Scott Ellis, Gideon Glick, Sam Nivola, Alexa Swinton, and Miriam Shor.
It is produced by Martin Scorsese, Bradley Cooper, Steven Spielberg, Fred Berner, Amy Durning, and Kristie Macosko Krieger.
The film is Cooper’s first directorial effort since 2019’s Lady Gaga-starring and Oscar-winning A Star Is Born.
Maestro is the second major film to focus on a queer conductor this year. Tár, which starred Cate Blanchett, followed the downfall of the fictional maestro, Lydia Tár.
