The score itself would mean nothing to me since I don't read music, but does this site ordinarily include the libretto with the music?

Crap. If my laptop hadn't dies on Monday, I'd download when I got home tonight, and then post the PDF via Google docs...or something.
Most editions of operas do not include the libretto as plain text. Unfortunately, you just have to read it along with the music.

That wouldn't be a problem. I read the words along with the music in the hymnal every Sunday, so I'm used to that. ;D
Sorry about your laptop. I'm sure that sucks. :(

Oh, right!! Then you shouldn't have a probelm reading the text in the opera score.
