It is one of the reasons on which the plans of multilingual subtitlings for the first time announced by the Vienna opera four years ago, still were not carried out. Now, thanks to emergence of new generation of cheaper tablets, it became possible, Meyer Dominique told. Nevertheless, huge work on adaptation of the translations of performances not only into German, English as it becomes now, but also on French, Italian, Japanese and Russian is necessary.
