used in the dream sequence (also shot at the St. James Theatre) where we see dancers performing choreographer Jerome Robbins' classic ballet Fancy Free was a replica of the Oliver Smith set design and backdrop from the original production. Nature played a big role in the life of the Bernsteins through the decades. Both Lenny and Felicia drew inspiration from being out of the city, spending time in the country. The family home in Connecticut, the Tanglewood and the Seranac house in The Berkshires, particularly in the early stages of their relationship, were important visual backdrops that give us a sense of their characters, and their inner lives. Seeing Lenny and Felicia sitting back to back in the rolling hills of Tanglewood early in the film, and then in the same position in Central Park, roughly thirty years later, toward the end of the film, serves to reinforce Bradley's vision of the movie as a classic, timeless romance. Lenny and Felicia Bernstein were vibrant, cultured, passionate people who devoted their lives to their art and their family. My intention with the design of Maestro was to reflect these qualities and help create a movie that is as beautiful to look at as Leonard Bernstein's music is to listen to.
