Founded (in 2002) and directed by Aloma Bardi, The International Center for American Music promotes knowledge and appreciation of music and musical life of the United States of America. In a broader perspective, ICAMus is committed to the discovery of American music in its diverse connections and mutual influences. The Center works in cooperation with universities, theatres and cultural institutions.

In its collaboration with Prescott – first established to accomplish specialist work on American opera, musical and drama – ICAMus has provided historically documented translation of libretti and style revision of projected texts. Through the medium of the English language, ICAMus aims at creating a centre of excellence with Prescott, where the Organization itself can find an expansion of its own scope.

Opera Voice è un servizio che si collega a dispositivi mobili in connessione wireless, trasmettendo la titolazione per l’evento in corso. Nato per il pubblico dei teatri dentro l’officina Prescott Studio, si integra perfettamente alla tradizionale videoproiezione sopra il boccascena, di cui conserva l’assoluto controllo nello spotting, con il valore aggiunto dell’adattamento multilingua, che ogni spettatore può scegliere sul proprio smartphone o tablet.

Concepita per lo spettacolo dal vivo (opera, prosa, teatro di figura, musical, tradizioni extraeuropee), OperaVoice è una piattaforma ideale per molti altri eventi, dalla musica pop al cinema, da convegni e seminari a manifestazioni sportive: ovunque ci siano contenuti testuali da trasmettere a un pubblico. Ulteriori e preziosi impieghi sono previsti nell’ambito dell’ausilio a soggetti con imparità sensoriali.

Opera Voice è un brevetto italiano – n. 1400206 del 25 luglio 2013. Tutti i diritti sono riservati.

Full translations of theater scripts and librettos; 2. Development and timing of surtitles; and 3. Quality control of existing translations and surtitles.
