Headline: Bradley Cooper spent six years learning how to conduct like Leonard Bernstein
Caption: In one of the biopic's standout scenes, Cooper recreates the time Bernstein famously conducted the London Symphony Orchestra at Ely Cathedral in 1976. After a recent screening in Los Angeles, the actor revealed that he spent six years perfecting Bernstein's animated and theatrical conducting style so he could perform the sequence live on set. "That scene I was so worried about because we did it live," Cooper said, reports IndieWire. "That was the London Symphony Orchestra. I was recorded live. I had to conduct them. And I spent six years learning how to conduct six minutes and 21 seconds of music."
