Who is Felicia Montealegre Bernstein?

Felicia Montealegre Bernstein has remained a mysterious background presence alongside her well-known musical husband Leonard Bernstein. With the release of the film “Maestro," featuring Carey Mulligan's luminous portrait of Bernstein's wife, curiosity about Felicia has blossomed. On this Mother's Day, The Leonard Bernstein Office lovingly presents this brief portrait, which we hope will answer some questions about the marvelous, multifaceted Felicia.

A truly remarkable, wonderful, kind, funny, and truthful woman who guided me with her wisdom.. My one regret is that I wasn't able to say goodbye..

What a lovely lass, n family. Handsome husband Lenny B. Didn't know much about Felicia until now, I read a little about Leonard Bernstein just after he passed on in early 90s. Simply fascinating story. ❤❤❤😊😊😊

A wonderful woman. Love the documentary and it is a welcome contrast to the dreadful "Maestro" movie. Also love that you chose music by Carlos Chavéz in the beginning.

Your mother was a very beautiful woman. She was pointed out to me once in the early 1970s at Symphony Hall-a gorgeous woman in a Chanel suit.
