Overview
Following the premiere of the opera in December 1951, Menotti's libretto has been translated for performance in several languages, including German (Oswald Lorich, 1952), Italian (Piero Bellugi, 1953), French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
The success of the opera in popular culture went far beyond the stage, generating numerous literary adaptations for children.
In 1952, American poet and novelist Frances Frost and artist Roger Duvoisin created the first major adaptation of Menotti's English libretto for children.
Frost and Duvoisin's illustrated book was translated in German (Theresia Mutzenbecher, 1953), Dutch (Gerard Messelaar, 1962) and Afrikaans (Nakkie Fluman, 1970). Other adaptations relied on the work of local artists--the French editions by Jean Muray in 1954 and 1962; the 1963 Spanish edition by Aurora Díaz-Plaja; and the 1975 Japanese edition by Yoshiko Isshiki.
A second edition of Frost's adaptation for children was published in 1986 with illustrations by Michèle Lemieux, also translated in German (Hildegard Krahé, 1986), French (Anne-Marie Chapouton, 1986), and Italian (Ilva Tron, 1987).
A new adaptation of the libretto by Luz Orihuela was published in 2003, both in Spanish and Catalan editions, illustrated by Margarita Ruiz.
