BOX 142-143 Libretti/Lyrics, 1940-1987
Chiefly texts, synopses of novels, and ballets that Diamond either scored or endeavored to do so. A large portion of these materials relate to the novels Billy Budd by Herman Melville and Wings of the dove by Henry James. Also included are texts for Diamond's opera, The noblest game, which was abandoned by the New York City Opera and has never been performed.
