Literally translated, the libretto is a “little book”, a “little book”. But not just any book. The textbooks have been around for aslong as operas have existed. Often the universal language of music and the expressions of the performers tell the story, even if onedoes not understand the words. Even so, a libretto is very helpful in understanding the details. Especially then, and almost always,when the opera is performed in the original language. In the librettos, the original is usually juxtaposed with the translation. Youcan easily follow the plot and the content in parallel. In most cases the opera textbook exists before the music is composed. Exciting and dramatic stories form the basis for fascinating opera compositions.
