Director Federico Fellini's Orchestra Rehearsal (Prova d'Orchestra) was originally made for Italian TV, then given a limited theatrical release in the US. Using a symphony orchestra as a metaphor for Mankind, Fellini explores the various joys, sorrows, frustrations and triumphs of the musicians. The orchestrations heard throughout are handled by Nino Rota. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Balduin Baas - Orchestra Conductor

One of Federico Fellini's most controversial and best-received later films, this political satire has been given a simple yet effective presentation for its North American release on DVD. Orchestra Rehearsal has been transferred to disc in its original full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. The dialogue is in Italian, with optional English-language subtitles. Bonus materials include notes on the film's production, biographies of the key cast and crew members, and the picture's theatrical trailer. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
