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.
At the moment we offer surtitles for the following productions:
FRAU OHNE SCHATTEN (German/English, all shows on Friday/Saturday/Sunday)
DADDY UNPLUGGED (German/English, all shows on Friday/Saturday/Sunday)
