The surtitling glasses make all Salle Richelieu performances accessible in French and English, regardless of seating location. 
Booking the glasses at the same time as purchasing performance tickets is recommended, as the number of glasses available is limited

Surtitling glasses are also available for all performances at the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin : Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, Le Cid and Le Malade imaginaire.

The surtitling glasses are designed for people with hearing difficulties and for English-speaking audiences.

The surtitling glasses project the chosen language content directly onto the lens without obstructing the view of the stage, regardless of your seat. The content is superimposed on your normal field of vision. The audience member may select the option that suits them and adjust the settings (subtitles, language, size, positioning, colour and brightness). 

The surtitling glasses are compatible with prescription eyewear.
