Wolfgang Amadeus .Mozart
THREE MOZART LIBRETTI
The Marriage of 'Figaro, Don Giovanni
and Cosi Tan Tutte.
Complete in Italian and English
Mozart composed three of his greatest operas in collaboration with the librettist Lorenzo da Ponte. The librettos of these brilliant works are presented here in a format opera enthusiasts will love: excellent line-for-line English translations on pages facing the Italian text. The translators have attempted to present the three operas "as readably and as dramatically as possible, finding the natural or colloquial English phrase" to convey the essential spirit of each work. The result is a handy, readable reference ideal for following a recorded performance or to refresh one's memory before or after a live performance. Introductions, plot synopses and lists of characters for each opera complete this indispensable companion for any opera-goer or lover of Mozart's music.
