The producer of the opera for which I recently designed lights, asked me about including Super Titles for next year’s production.

I’ve never dealt with Super Titles, but I’m guessing they involve a video projector and a long thin screen.<br>

Anybody here have experience, tips or advice that you could share?<br>
