German English Libretto
Schrecker “Der Ferne Klang” libretto?
I would like to find one in German and English. My husband has looked around – and nothing. This is going to be performed next year at the Bard festival, which will focus on Alban Berg.
O Crudele!

(Wot, two intractable ones in just a matter of days, Mamianka?)
Having scampered round a goodly number of mulberry bushes, I can happily report a. that it looks as though Schreker’s libretto does exist in English and b. that it has been published. After that, it does get a bit more laborious.
One was prepared for Opera North (one of our mainly English language opera companies), here in the UK, and published, presumably to accompany a recording, under ASIN number “B0000EB0WQ”. If you use that ASIN# for a secondary search, it will take you to the OP database of Amazon in both the US and UK:
US: http://www.amazon.com/ferne-Klang-distant-sound-libretto/dp/B0000EB0WQ
UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/ferne-Klang-distant-sound-libretto/dp/B0000EB0WQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251290151&sr=1-1
With no prospect of future availability from those quarters, and none to be found in the antiquarian market that I could see, Opera North themselves should probably be your next target.
I think, if you approached the Opera North Education Dept with all your prof. flags flying, they may well be able to help you out with a copy of their text (probably electronically at least). You can reach them here (4th ‘e-mail’ entry):
http://www.operanorth.co.uk/about-us/contact-us/
If you drop me a note in my mailbox I can send you the name (which always ‘oils the wheels’) of the actual Education Officer best to write to, in reply by return.
Hope this helps. Yours, as always,
