What is The Nun's Chorus about?

Where can I find an English translation of The Nun’s Chorus from Strauss’ Casanova? Or can anyone just tell me what it’s about?

Now I’m worried. Do I have no replies because no-one knows the answer (surely not possible here), or have I asked a blindingly obvious question to which no-one will lower themselves to answer.

Or, to put it another way:

Bump.

OK, one more go:
Hup.

Best bet is to go to a music store and purchase the libretto for the piece, I am sure that there is at least one version at amazon, they seem to have everything :rolleyes:

Many times the sheet music has an english translation along with the original german version, IIRC when I was singing in school that was frequently the case. Even if it is only in german, perhaps posting the lyrics on this board with a plea for translation would work=)

Your local library probably has a libretto with the original text and an English translation. That’s the route I went when I needed some Wagner translations.
