Supertitles aren't just useful for opera. Art song supertitles are excellent for performances of smaller art song works in more intimate chamber settings. They're also good for scenes and aria presentations such as the Placido Domingo gala concert I created for New Orleans Opera in 2012, or Renée Fleming's gala concert with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in 2024. Such concert performances bring the magic of live vocal performance to audiences, but if they don't know what is being sung, that experience is profoundly diminished.

I offer art song supertitles and supertitle sets for chamber vocal music, and I'm happy to create custom aria and scene sets for professional concert performances or university scenes programs.

My supertitles are created without the assistance of any software program or the use of artificial intelligence. They are meticulously translated, artistically designed for dramatic sensitivity, and structured for quick comprehension. As a retired stage director and singer, my supertitles are far better than any artificial intelligence program can create. Discerning presenters deserve an educated, experienced human touch - and so does your audience.
