Arizona Opera offers a wide array of services for the various accessibility needs of our audience. 

Surtitles are English translations of what is being sung projected on a large screen above the stage.  Similar to subtitles used in foreign films, surtitles have revolutionized opera in the United States by making the plot, conversations and arias understood by all who can read. 

For visually impaired, Sunday Phoenix performances and Sunday Tucson performances are audio described, which is a "play by play" account of the action on stage. Braille and large print programs are available at every performance.

For hearing impaired, infrared listening devices are available for use for no charge. 

Arizona Opera complies with ADA regulations for accessible seating at all our performances.  If you have specific needs, please contact our office with any questions.
