Well I just got back from The City, where I saw Don Giovanni at the Lincoln Center. The show was great, but I was most impressed with the devices they had for subtitles. The opera, having debuted over 200 years ago in Prague, was written by an Austrian about Spaniards who communicated entirely in Italian, tonight was subtitled in English using a fancy display affixed to the chair in front of me. Everyone had their own display to look at, but you could only see the words on your own. This would be so you don’t get distracted as much, I suppose.
