Made contact with the developer but no response so far. ### 1/5 — Invaluable resource *2012-10-14* Not always perfect, nor always literal, but certainly better - that is, more literal - than most vocal score translations. Not designed for iPhone 5. ### 5/5 — What No Lohengin? *2011-10-08* Created by Italo-Austrans ### 5/5 — :) *2011-07-14* Very great app! ### 1/5 — robbery *2010-08-10* not only is the libretti incomplete, they do not even have the prime passages. grossly disappointed. want refund. do not purchase. ## Frequently asked questions about The Opera ### Does The Opera include audio of the operas?
