West Side Story: Film with Live Orchestra Music

Contrary to what the Chronicle's own Kevin Curtin may feel about the film, this classic romantic tragedy, directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, is renowned as one of the greatest achievements in the history of movie musicals. And here, tonight, while you watch it on the big screen, your Austin Symphony Orchestra (as conducted by maestro Peter Bay) will play Leonard Bernstein’s electrifying score live.
