My most recent exposure was at a NY Philharmonic concert where a fat lady
sang a love song about her dying hero, from a Wagner opera.  The supertitles
only made it worse (when the gadget worked at all) by showing that the
lyrics were as ludicrous as the singer.  (I don't mean her voice.  I mean
her appearance as a love image.)
