Hmmm…Twitter surtitles. They are already like that, no? I seem to remember them coming a line or two at a time. Retranslated ones would be entertaining though….perhaps that is what you were thinking of.

Surtitle: I weep for the day when we can be together again, like the stars and the sky…salt and pepper and the birds and the bees…

Twititle: I heart U 4evah. Come home. It’s business time.

Ok, that was 100% lame. I think I’ll stick with summaries.

Obviously I think sending Twitter-esque summaries to cell phones an hour/30 minutes before performances is a fantastic idea! What about having a Twitter option on the title screens at The Met? “Press for English, German…Twitter…”. Someone could be live Tweeting during the performance and that could be what was shown on the screens.

The “I gots to know” is from Dirty Harry. It’s from the “do you feel lucky, punk?” scene.
