Emma

0 upcoming performances in New York

Autumn de Wilde’s *Emma* (2020) revisits Jane Austen’s 1815 comedy of manners through the perspective of a young, privileged matchmaker whose interventions expose the rules of class and romance in Regency England. The score now appears at Town Hall as part of Symphony & Sensibility, an Austen anniversary program led by The Sinfonietta, with featured performers including Emily Bear and an all‑female orchestra, alongside a few modern touches. In New York, Austen onstage and on screen has long served as a mirror for social performance; this film’s music leans into that idea with wry precision.
