Opera Philadelphia partners with Art-Reach and Nicole Sardella to provide Audio Description services at select live performances.

Audio Description devices are available in venue lobbies on a first come, first serve basis. Please inquire with House Ushers upon your arrival.

Audio Description is live, verbal narration of stage action, actors’ facial expressions, sets, costumes, lighting, props, and more. Prior to the performance, guests are also invited to tune into Pre-Show Notes where further details about the plot, translations, and venue will be shared. 

For questions regarding Audio Description, please contact Steven Humes, Associate Director of Audience Development, at humes@operaphila.org or 215.893.5903
