Cate Blanchett shares the true inspiration behind fearsome conductor Lydia Tár | Classic FM

Cate Blanchett sat down with Classic FM presenter, Tim Lihoreau, to discuss her Golden Globe-winning performance in ‘Tár’, in which she plays the tyrannical fictional maestro, Lydia Tár.

“I didn’t base the character of Lydia Tár on anyone,” Cate told Tim. “I thought about Susan Sontag as a public intellectual, as much as I thought about Alma Mahler, as much as I did about any contemporary conductor.” Read more highlights from the interview here: https://www.classicfm.com/music-news/lydia-tar-cate-blanchett-interview/
