Supertitles Are Distancing Audiences From Opera, Says Critic

Fred Plotkin: “They may bring some people to the opera house but they do not necessarily bring people closer and more intimately to opera … They distance people (who are not paying attention) from the overwhelming glory that is the combination of forces – conductor, orchestra, chorus, soloists – who do the astonishing feat of performing (without amplification) some of the most magnificent music ever written.”
