Nicely filmed short of the MGM Symphony Orchestra on a simple set. It's a typical film of an orchestra: some close-up shots and some showing bigger groups.
The music is pleasant but unremarkable. It's the overture to Otto Nicolai's one-act opera "Merry Wives of Windsor" (which I haven't seen; I got this info by searching the Web).
