New York

Auteur Baz Luhrmann (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, and the Tony Award–winning production of La Bohème)—whose films have had a direct effect on pop culture, fashion, and cinematic innovation—will show clips of his work and talk about his creative process. Subjects to be discussed include the challenges in making a “contemporary” adaptation of a classic work, and transferring musical theater performance from stage to film.

This public master class is part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival’s Educational Series.
