Our Passion

Since we came up with the idea that theater should be accessible to people of all languages we have been working to bring our dream to life.

We are theater and opera and live show lovers who attended shows around the world for many years. The idea for the GalaPro solution came up one day while we were attending an opera performance that did have subtitles above the stage but were somewhat difficult to see and only in one language. GalaPro was born of the idea that live shows, theater, cinema and opera could be an experience anyone can enjoy - breaking down translation, cultural and even physical barriers to make them accessible to all.

Once we had this idea, we couldn’t rest. We formed a great team and started to design a system to support all opera and theater subtitling, dubbing and amplification that didn’t require any installations or expensive hardware.

Once we had language capabilities we realized we could extend it to all kinds of applications - from conferences to cinema to lectures and more! GalaPro marks the first time cell phones were welcomed into theaters; our technology means no back-light or bright lights from the phone and that any incoming messages and phone calls are immediately blocked. This means no interruptions or distractions. A natural next step was making GalaPro a full theater experience solution. We wanted to extend accessibility beyond translation. We decided to digitize show programs, cast and theater info, and make it easy to buy your next ticket (with discounts and perks, of course!). We also wanted to create a social element, allowing people to rate shows and become critics themselves while creating a bigger live theater and opera community in general.
