Lucia di Lammermoor - Scala 1992 - Dutch subs.

I consider it an absolute necessity not only to know the story behind every Opera performance, but also to be able to follow the sung text. My knowledge of English isn't really poor, but from time to time I fail to get the real meaning. This, plus the luxure of retirement-time led me to translate one of my DVD's as follows: The Italian/English libretto downloaded from DM's opera site. The original DVD files of the 1992 performance in the Scala of Milan were opened in Nero 2017.. Then, the most laborious part, the libretto (in Excel) was step-by-step translated to Dutch. The time + translation were added to the Excel text, finally copy-pasted as txt-file. A small QB64-programme (hobby as well) converted this file into an srt-file, simultaneously checking wrong time-notatiors. Languistic errors can easily be traced in Excel itself. Using the VLC Media Player programme's 'stream'-option the SRT was added to the from Nero obtained MP4 file.
