Paul Bunyan W.H. Auden Benjamin Britten Libretto
Paul Bunyan, W.H. Auden and Benjamin Britten - Libretto of the opera by Britten.
Auden - One of his strongest poetic times was in the 1930s, writing love lyrics for Benjamin Britten to set (many of them, of course, addressed to Britten). He translated libretti into English and was a keen librettist in his own right, providing the words for Britten in the American operetta Paul Bunyan, for Hans Werner Henze in Elegy for Young Lovers and The Bassarids, and for Stravinsky in The Rake's Progress.
The Opera - Part light-operetta, part musical comedy, this tall-tale of an opera tells the mythical story of Paul Bunyan "in a whimsical, almost Broadway-musical style". Campy, folksy, with a libretto by the famous poet W.H. Auden (one of Auden’s poems was featured in the movie Four Weddings and a Funeral).
LIKE NEW condition with clean undamaged dust jacket. Shipping in US only $4.00.
