Unlike onstage iPad face-glow, I don’t know a good fix for this offhand. The stage lights were very bright, making the reflections fairly prominent. ![]() We deduced that it must be the reflections from the screens of the singers who were using iPads or tablets – of which there were several. The mystery was solved when my companion pointed out that the reflections disappeared when the singers put down their choir folders and then reappeared when they raised them again. Watches or other jewelry, perhaps? The reflections were rectangular and big, and even the sopranos I know don’t wear jewelry THAT big. And I couldn’t see anything on the set pieces or in the stage lighting that would cause reflections or lights like that.Ĭould it be caused by something in the singers’ attire?
