Description
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's seven major librettos have finally been translated in verse, bringing the lively wordplay and drama of the originals to life. This monumental work is the result of McClatchy's heroic labor, which has brought the music of Mozart to a new audience. The translations are accompanied by an illuminating introduction to each opera, including a dramatic recap, a history of the opera, and a list of characters. With facing-page text, this volume offers a unique reading experience that matches the exuberance and lyricism of the original librettos. A masterpiece in its own right, this book is a testament to the enduring power of Mozart's music and the skill of McClatchy's translation.
