DVD-Y155 Janacek Jenufa 1986 San Francisco VIDEO
Product Description
This is a rare archive video. I understand it became the practice to make an archival video with a single camera just
so the stage blocking and the physical production (set and costumes) could be preserved on video. Everything is rather dark and I have been unable to enhance the picture quality.
