Do you provide discounts for multiple rentals? Yes! Please contact us about special deals on multiple rentals for your season!
What size screen do we use? Supertitles are formatted for use on a standard screen dimension that is a ratio of 1 to 8, but can be altered for almost any screen size. How large the receptor screen is depends on how far your projector will be and what kind of throw it provides. Most projectors have many ways to adjust the image size. It is recommended that if you are building a screen for these titles, get a sample slide in advance and project it in your venue.
Can I get a sample of a slideshow before I rent it? You can get a brief sample to use, but not any large part of the copyrighted translation.
Can I make alterations to the slides? Yes. The slideshow is done electronicaly in Microsoft Powerpoint. Each slide is fully customizable to meet your particular staging needs.
How do I make cuts in the score? Refer to the documentation included with your rental for the recommended methods. It is highly recommended you follow the cue number scheme, which correspond to cue numbers listed in the NOTES for each slide (NOT the Powerpoint slide number!).
What qualifications are required to run the slideshow? You should select someone who can read music well, and preferably, someone familiar with the opera. Numbered slides and marked scores make this process easy, but for complex musical numbers, having someone familiar with the opera is recommended.
The opera I need titles for isn’t listed. Can you make them? Of course! New titles are being made all the time. Just let us know when your production is so that we can plan appropriate time to create the titles you need.
What kind of projector do I need? It depends on your performance space, the distance between your projector and the receiving surface, and how many lights it’s going to have to break through. As long as you’re not in a huge municipal auditorium, most modern projectors are more than adequate. If you really want to get fancy, you could look into “rear projection” options as well.
