The best way to find an English translation of an opera score in the NYU collection is to search in Library Catalog under the original title of the opera, and then use the facets on the left to limit by:
Sears, Minnie. Song index; an index to more than 12,000 songs in 177 song collections, 1966.
Avery Fischer Center Reference Collection, 7th floor, ML128.S6.S439 1925a Non-circulating
