Emma

0 upcoming performances in New York

Autumn de Wilde’s *Emma* (2020) reframes Jane Austen’s matchmaker as both confident and careless, tracking how Emma Woodhouse’s good intentions distort the lives around her in Regency England. The score, heard here in orchestral form, underlines the story’s social choreography and the quiet costs of meddling, turning comedy into something sharper. At Town Hall, it appears within *Symphony & Sensibility*, The Sinfonietta’s Jane Austen 250 program, performed by an all-female orchestra with a few modern touches. New York has long treated Austen as repertory; this concert places her film afterlives in a civic listening space.
