    Overtures play to a closed curtain, with what to listen for.

    HOW IT WORKS

    1 · Listen

    Opera Moments plays a great recording of the opera, through Apple Music or from tracks you own.

    2 · Understand

    Each line appears in your language at the moment it is sung, timed by hand, line by line.

    3 · Feel it

    No libretto on your lap, no guessing which line is which. Just the music, and what it means.
