Libretto
A libretto is the text used in an extended
musical work such as an
opera,
operetta,
masque, sacred or secular
oratorio and
cantata,
musical, and
ballet. The term "libretto" is also sometimes used to refer to the text of major liturgical works, such as
mass and
requiem.Libretto (pl. libretti) is an
Italian word which translates literally as "little book." It is distinct from a synopsis or
scenario of the plot. The relationship of the librettist (that is, the writer of a libretto) to the
composer in the creation of a musical work has varied over the centuries, as have the sources and the writing techniques employed.
