Not an opera, but something to wear...

quote:

The Lyric Opera of Chicago is the first opera company in the world to bring a brand new kind of technology for those who are deaf or hard of hearing.

It's called the SoundShirt, and it's changing the way people with disabilities see the opera.

That is like parading cancer survivors, maybe worse.
Why not just stamp DEAF on their foreheads?
I offered to pay the have the sanctuary of a local church wired with a cable that would send a signal to hearing aids with T-coils. The minister showed me the black things that go into a pocket and the big black ear pods and wires.
No one used them.
People make a big effort not to stand out as disabled. Parading them for all to see is not appreciated.

Interesting idea, but I too don't see it catching on. Opera is an aural experience. I could be wrong about it, but time will tell.

The shirts might be more popular at a PHISH concert.
