A new step in our accessibility journey.

(Simplified Chinese follows English)

Last week, we at New Zealand Opera were proud to announce that for the very first time, audiences will be able to access live, Simplified Chinese surtitles on their personal devices at all performances in our upcoming season of Rigoletto.

Speaking to The Big Idea, NZ Opera participation manager Frances Moore shared her excitement around this new development: “Having surtitles in your own language makes a huge difference to being able to follow and enjoy an opera … It’s a joyful privilege to connect with our communities, and to learn more about the different requirements which might make our audience feel welcome.”

Read the article at The Big Idea to learn more about this initiative. Tickets for Rigoletto are on sale now – with Simplified Chinese surtitles available on personal smartphone devices at all performances.
