I've had a quick listen and I'm pretty horrified at what I can hear. This sounds rather provincial.

Yes it is performed rather poorly with thin strings. Are you familiar with the orchestra?

No. Apparently this a production by 'Erlesene Oper' (='Select Opera') in Halfing, Bavaria (Germany). I'd never heard of them:
