Bradley Cooper's Six-Year Journey to Conduct Six Minutes of Music for 'Maestro'

Bradley Cooper spent six years learning how to conduct just over six minutes of music in the style of Leonard Bernstein for his film "Maestro." Cooper recorded a crucial scene live on set, recreating Bernstein's famous conducting of the London Symphony Orchestra at the Ely Cathedral in 1976. The scene showcases Bernstein's musical genius and Cooper's staggering performance. Cooper thanked his teachers, including Metropolitan Opera director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, for helping him fine-tune the performance. "Maestro" opens in select theaters on Nov. 22 and will be available to stream on Netflix starting Dec. 20.
