Libretto by Giacomo Badoaro

"Libretto" by Giacomo Badoaro is the written text of an opera, including its dialogue and lyrics, which serves as a blueprint for the performance. Badoaro curated and contributed to the libretto of Claudio Monteverdi’s famous opera "L'Orfeo" (1607). As a scholar and playwright, Badoaro’s libretto integrates storytelling, emotional expression, and poetic language, providing the foundation for the composer’s music and the performers’ interpretation. It plays a crucial role in conveying the narrative and themes of the opera, guiding both the musical composition and the theatrical presentation.
