Available now · iPhone & iPadThe greatest arias,
in your language.
Opera Moments follows the recording as it plays and shows every line in the language you think in — as it is sung. We turn the world's greatest arias into moments you actually understand and feel.
The idea
Opera is one of the most moving things humans have ever made — and for most people, it's locked behind a language they don't speak. Printed programs and overhead surtitles help a little, but you spend the night looking away from the stage, guessing which line matches which note.
Our app puts the translation exactly where it belongs: line by line, in time with the singing. The words arrive as the singer sings them, so you feel the aria instead of decoding it.
What makes it different
- Perfectly in sync. Each line is hand-timed to the music, so the meaning lands on the beat — not a paragraph behind.
- In your language. Translations crafted for feeling, not just literal accuracy, in the language you're most at home in.
- Built for newcomers. Designed for someone hearing an aria for the very first time — no musical background required.
- Moments, not homework. The famous arias, presented as short, self-contained moments you can savor.
