West Side Story

The family of Leonard Bernstein has defended Bradley Cooper's controversial decision to wear a large prosthetic nose while playing the Jewish composer in a new film, "Maestro."

Oscar nominee Cooper, who wrote, directed and stars in "Maestro," has received criticism since a trailer for the upcoming Netflix film was released online this week.

The prize for best film of the year at the National Board of Review (NBR) Awards went to "Top Gun: Maverick." Martin McDonagh's "The Banshees of Inisherin" took home the most trophies. But the night belonged to its best-director honoree, Steven Spielberg, and the parade of tributes paid to the 76-year-old filmmaker.

The Athens Concert Hall presents Leonard Bernstein's classic "West Side Story" in a Greek production featuring translated prose and English lyrics. Shows take place on October 15, 19, 20 and 21, starting at 8 p.m., and on October 16 at 5 p.m.
