The orchestras would play in the cinema lobby, which had a stage and curtain in Soviet times, for 30 to 40 minutes before screening time. Each week the music program was changed.
Alfred Schreyer remembers how people loved the music.\u00a0<\/span>And I must say, it happened, from time to time various people bought the ticket, listened to the music concert and left, just to hear a bit of music. It was very, very often like this.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Drohobych had two Cinema Lobby Orchestras, according to Alfred Schreyer. In Lviv there were four.<\/p>\n
