I must only note that similarly elevated theatrical records to art should become the norm. It's the only way for the theater to survive. It may be just a classic HDK show with Bílá in the lead role, but the cultured record preserves for us for eternity, for example, the mature operetta diva Pavla Břínková, who was otherwise unlucky in terms of having any record of her art.

Very well done... I mean it ironically. F. A. Brabec didn't capture anything at all with the camera recording of the musical. It looks small, which is eliminated in the theater by a filled audience and the proximity of the actors. I was incredibly surprised by the bad cuts, which would be more suitable for a beginner filmmaker. This is just a commercial attempt to squeeze something more out of a musical that isn't that great itself. And I don't mean in terms of quality, but in terms of money. The effort put into the cinema release probably paid off, because the production costs for the cinema version were minimal. Just like the effort of the filmmakers. But I am evaluating the "film" and it is just a marketing poverty.
