Comments

Single, fixed camera shooting full stage, from the back of the balcony, 

down the isle - so occasional people walking up and down in the way - 

with the conductor visible at the centre bottom, 

but with the stage only taking up around 7/8th of the height of the screen.

Pictures is slightly generated, with some blocking, making details like, 

faces hard to pick out especially with washout from the stage lights.

However, you do get to see, literally everything that is going on.

Sound is  soundboard, but with audience noise, is extremely clear.

Disc has not been authored with the show split into four video files 

of various lengths (see running time above)

with slight blanks between them although none of the show is lost.
