* FemaleMisogynist: Lydia has elements of it. She thinks sexism is no longer a concern and that female conductors have nothing to complain about (she names several real-life conductors as examples, and omits that in real life they have complained about sexism in classical music), and she has a scholarship for women that she wants to make coed for the same reasons.

* SignificantAnagram: Lydia does anagrams at idle moments. She does on for "Krista," realizes it spells "At Risk," then crumples it and throws it in the garbage. Later, Francesca rearranges "Tar" to "Rat."

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Lydia is removed from her position at the Berlin Philharmonic after several scandals, her marriage is over, and she's reduced to conducting for a cosplay orchestra at a video game convention. On the one hand, her comeuppance is deserved; on the other, it stings to see a giant of classical music brought so low. Depending on how you view Lydia as a character, the possibility of a comeback can make this either more bitter or more sweet.]]

* DoubleMeaningTitle: Tár is the protagonist's surname, but spelling the name without the accented letter creates the word "tar", alluding to how Lydia's reputation is tarred during the scandal.

Added DiffLines:

** Leonard Bernstein did animate masterclasses with young musicians even as late as 1987, so it's not impossible that Tár would have met him and then exaggerated the extance of his mentorship.
