Kentridge’s libretto is an assemblage of the characters’ words and a range of other historical sources.

He would grab a bunch of different librettos and “Wicked” was one of them.

This was particularly notable in a reading of the libretto for a proposed new opera by Ted Hearn, one of our most politically outspoken composers, based on Ursula K Le Guin’s “The Dispossessed.”

The last lines of Waldman’s libretto are, “All I want is out of here.”

“Cyrano de Bergerac” is built like a libretto.
