Librettos in English

Welcome to Librettos in English. I created this channel to help fellow opera lovers move beyond just the famous melodies and dive into the heart of the drama. By providing English translations for Italian libretti and early madrigals, I hope to make the recitatives and lyrics as clear as the music itself. My hope is that by understanding the dialogue and the story, you’ll find a much deeper connection to the composers, singers, and the theatrical power of opera.
