OPERA ACCESS is a web application for the individual display of surtitles on the smartphone. For selected productions, surtitles are available here in several languages and sizes and can be received quickly and easily via the smartphone’s web browser. Downloading an app is not necessary
HOW?
To use OPERA ACCESS , simply scan one of the QR codes posted on our premises. You can use your own smartphone for this purpose. If you do not have a smartphone with you, you can borrow one from us for the duration of the show.
WHY?
Almost all productions are in German and surtitles are only available in selected productions in one language at a time. To enable those with little or no knowledge of German to visit our productions in the future, we have developed the OPERA ACCESS application together with a programmer. It transmits multilingual surtitles in real time to the audiences smartphones. The prototype will be used for the first time in the fall of 2023 at the shows of DER TEUFEL IM LIFT. The surtitles here are available in Spanish and English. Another production with surtitles is the readaption of the musical BIS KEINER WEINT (with English and Turkish surtitles).
