"Librettists" as a book category encompasses works that focus on the writers of librettos—the textual and dramatic foundations of opera, operetta, musical theater and other staged vocal forms. It includes biographies and collected letters, editions and translations of librettos, critical studies of librettists’ craft and collaborations with composers, historical surveys of librettistic traditions, interviews, and practical guides to writing for music and the stage. Books in this category explore the art of shaping poetry, dialogue and dramatic structure to musical needs, the cultural and historical contexts of particular librettists, and the interplay between words and music; they appeal to scholars, composers, directors, performers and informed readers interested in the intersection of literature and musical theater.
