DVD 5295 ROBINSON CRUSOE

The most important thing about this DVD is that there is no choice. As far as I know this is the only one available, so if you want to see Robinson Crusoe, this is it. There are no subtitles and I rate it 5 for sound, but only 3 for the picture. The picture is blurred/unfocussed but fortunately the light is bright and there are mostly full colours so the recording is acceptable. It is a piece of fun, but quite different from many other Offenbach operetttas, in that the music seems a little more serious. I use a synopsis of the opera when watching, and had no trouble following the story. Am pleased I bought it, but will not watch it very often.
