Lorenzo Da Ponte - The Life and Times of Mozart's Librettist - Paperback - 2002

"Mozart's operas where perfectly matched for the libretti of Da Ponte. Da Ponte's own long life (1749-1838), however, was more fantastic than any opera plot. A poor Jew who became a Catholic priest; a priest who became a young rake; and a teacher, poet and librettist who became a greengrocer.
