Speaking of Supertitles

Daniel Cariaga’s comments regarding San Diego Opera’s supertitles rang an all too sonorous bell (“ ‘Romeo et Juliette’ a Feast for the Senses,” April 21).

As both subscribers to San Diego Opera and Los Angeles Opera, we never cease to marvel at how difficult it is to read the supertitles at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. If the stage is brightly lighted, one might as well give up on trying to read the titles. The enjoyment of an otherwise fine production is seriously hampered by the struggle to read the text.

We hope L.A. Opera can learn a lesson from its opera neighbor to the south.
