Question:
Is there any was to get the libretto to Carmen Jones along with the musical score?
I already have access to the original Carmen full musical score, but is there any way to get Oscar Hammerstein's libretto/lyrics along with the musical score? I've tried and I can't seem figure out how to go about it.

We have found that biggest and best source for such oddities to be Colony Music in NYC. There website has been under construction for a long time, but we live close, and love to root around in there. Plus - the old-timers who work there are walking encyclopedias!
If I can find out more, I'll let you know - because it is YOU.
Knowing you, you must have hit all the usual Web resources. This needs Geek Speak. Is there a Yahoo Group you can join, and ask them? I am on several flute groups,. and they have been they equivalent of another graduate degree!
Also, Ms, Chick, let me thank you for your intelligent and compassionate responses to all those future singers out there! I have taught vocal music since 1971, and we STILL get those same dewy *I wanna be a star!* questions over and over - from kids who are *really* saying *I want somebody to notice me, because nobody here cares!*. Thank you for being here for THEM.
