      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Giuseppe Verde

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits on-stage images that are generally soft and occasionally smeared. Colors are well balanced, with warm golds, browns, and oranges. Fleshtones appear accurate and blacks are generally deep. Wide shots of the full stage can appear very unfocused. Minor shimmering is noticed in finer details on the costumes. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #62 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is the only place to go for no-nonsense evaluations of the audio and video qualities of a DVD before you drop your hard-earned cash for it. In an industry where the subjective is usually described in the most arcane manner possible (to the exclusion of the unwashed masses), WSR's clear and objective-as-you-can-get reviews give me the information I need to make purchasing decisions confidently.
