Film content
The film captures the behind-the-scenes preparations of the musicians from the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra as they get ready to showcase Maurice Ravel's orchestral masterpiece, Boléro. Some musicians share their thoughts while adjusting their chairs and music stands. Conductor Zubin Mehta also provides insights, and the film conveys the atmosphere of the rehearsals. The pinnacle of the documentary is the breathtaking performance of Boléro by the talented musicians.
