Tuesday, 27 Feb 1990. Date: Tue, 27 Feb 90 08:36:00 EST From: TRACY LOGAN Subject: something for query column, possibly One of our users seeks leads on translations of Mozart's operas (those originally in Italian). Most libretti are too "poetic" and not literal enough for her needs. Ellen Bleiler's translation of Don Giovanni suits her needs beautifully. Can anyone supply information on equivalent translations of Idomeneo, Le nozze di Figaro, Cosi fan tutte, and La clemenza di Tito? If not the entire libretto, then translations of the duets alone?
