Libretto von E.M. Forster und Eric Crozier nach der Erzählung von Herman Melville (Weltersteinspielung der Original-Version)
Prolog
Pull, my bantams
Send for John Claggart!
Billy Budd, king of the birds!
I heard, your honour!
Come along, kid!
Christ, the poor chap, the poor little runt!
Vere! Vere! - Officers and men...
My compliments...
Don't like the French!
Oh, that's nothing.
Blow her away...
Here lads!
Come out of that!
O beauty, o handsomeness
Come here! Remember your promise.
Billy! Hist, Billy Budd!
Dansker, old friend.
I don't like the look of the mist
Deck ahoy!
All guns ready, Sir!
There are you again, Master-at-Arms.
Nay, nay, you're mistaken.
Claggart, John Claggart, beware!
You wanted to see me
God o mercy!
Zwischenspiel
William Budd, you are accused
Poor fellow, who could save him?
I accept their verdict
Look! Through the port comes the moonshine astray!
And farewell to ye
According to the Articles of War
Starry Vere
We committed his body to the deep
