Works & Process, the performing arts series at the Guggenheim, presents Bel Canto: Inside the Music with Renée Fleming, David Majzlin, Anthony Weintraub, and Elena Park on Sunday, September 16, 2018 at 7:30pm.

For the new film Bel Canto, based on Ann Patchett’s award-winning novel, Renée Fleming provides the soprano voice of Roxane Coss (Julianne Moore), the renowned diva who is swept up, along with wealthy Japanese industrialist Katsumi Hosokawa (Ken Watanabe), in a lengthy hostage crisis in a South American country. This dramatic love story, directed by Paul Weitz (who also cowrote the screenplay), unfolds with an arresting score that features original music by David Majzlin and classic opera arias. Fleming and Majzlin join Bel Canto’s Anthony Weintraub (producer/co-screenwriter) and Elena Park (music producer, who will moderate) to talk about the creation of the movie and the musical choices. Soprano Marguerite Jones, pianist Ken Noda, and Ensemble 63 will perform selections of music featured in the film. Bel Canto debuts in theaters September 14.
