I'm sorry, but no. I won't copy and paste eight pages from another forum, including comments and everything. That's a no-go in internet etiquette and I'm not even sure if it were legal.
The link from which you can access the libretto is right here in the OP. You can use it anytime.
The forum where it leads to is run by Miniangel, who is a long-time dedicated Brokie and Heathen. I don't think she's gonna take down the other forum anytime soon.
Additionally, Lee has stickied the topic so it will be easy to find at a later point. And if you want to secure it, you can copy&paste the libretto and store it on your own computer.
Hope that helps.
Front-Ranger:
I agree with Penthesilea. In addition to what she said, the libretto is copyrighted by the author and, as I am a professional writer, I don't republish other people's work. Even though the libretto, book, and movie are easily available all over the Internet.

Incidentally, I've recently been revisiting my account of the 2007 BBM BBQ where we met, Chrissie. Happy memories of the Rockies and the Bighorns.

Happy memories indeed. Just last week that trip came up for me, too. I talked about it at our gathering in Madrid, where we saw the opera. Coming full circle. O0

I am very sorry if I trod on any toes in my enthusiasm for what miniangel has done in giving us the libretto, or urged monitors to go where they should not go. Of course, I should know as well as any of you, about copyright considerations etc. It was that momentarily "passion caught me unawares" as I often say. Take me to task if you like, but please forgive.
Penthesilea:
You didn't trod on any toes and no offense was taken. It's all good.
