With its electrifying music, unforgettable ‘hits’, and astonishingly modern choreography, West Side Story is an enduring beacon in the Musical genre. This film-in-concert is an exceptional opportunity to rediscover Wise’s movie and Bernstein’s exhilarating score.

In the wake of Steven Spielberg’s release of a new West Side Story, demonstrating the timelessness of Bernstein’s masterpiece, this film-in-concert stars the legendary 1961 original by Robert Wise.

This tale of ill-fated lovers against the backdrop of fierce rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, a Romeo and Juliet transposed to the streets of New York, inspired Bernstein’s most universally celebrated score. After their triumph on Broadway, Tonight, Maria and America emerged as key moments in the film, but who could forget the exhilarating mambo rhythms and the dynamic harmonies, igniting emotions and bodies alike?

Like Bernstein himself (the ‘wonder boy’ of American music), West Side Story blended entertainment with serious subjects, and popular culture with classical art—always aiming to keep, as ‘Lenny’ put it, ‘One foot in Tin Pan Alley, the other in Carnegie Hall’!

English

Avec sa musique électrisante, ses « tubes » inoubliables, ses chorégraphies à la modernité stupéfiante, West Side Story brille au fronton du « Musical ». Une occasion exceptionnelle de redécouvrir le film de Wise et la grisante partition de Bernstein !

À l’heure où Steven Spielberg vient de faire sortir sur les écrans une toute nouvelle version de West Side Story, démontrant l’intemporalité du chef-d’œuvre de Bernstein, c’est bien le film légendaire de 1961, signé Robert Wise, qui est la vedette de ce ciné-concert.

Le destin des amants sur fond de rivalité des Jets et des Sharks, transposition à l’univers de la rue newyorkaise de Roméo et Juliette, a inspiré au compositeur, wonderboy américain, sa partition la plus universellement célébrée. Tonight, Maria et America, après avoir triomphé à Broadway, émergent comme les moments-clés du film, mais nul n’a oublié les grisants rythmes de mambo et l’acidité énergétique de l’harmonie, enflammant les émotions et les corps.

Emblème de la culture du « Musical », West Side Story réussit, à l’instar de Bernstein lui-même, la fusion de l’entertainment et du sérieux, du populaire et du savant : c’est qu’il convient de conserver toujours, selon la propre formule de « Lenny », « Un pied à Tin Pan Alley, l’autre à Carnegie Hall » !
