A masterful translation by Auden

I wish there were more books like this one. Here, the libretto of an almost-forgotten opera is translated by a poet of the very first rank. The result is some very entertaining comic poetry.

This is the best verse play I've ever read. It is in fact a translation of an 18th century play by Carlo Goldoni done by -- W.H. Auden!
