Latouche, John [Treville] (1917–56), lyricist and librettist. The brilliant writer, whose early death deprived the musical theatre of a major talent, was born in Richmond, Virginia, and contributed his first lyrics to
From Vienna (1939). He called attention to his art with his work in
Cabin in the Sky (1940). Subsequent collaborations included
Banjo Eyes (1941),
Beggar's Holiday (1946), and
Ballet Ballads (1948). Latouche's finest achievement was his libretto for
The Golden Apple (1954), a recounting of the
Iliad and the
Odyssey in terms of turn‐of‐the‐century America. Since there was no spoken dialogue, his lyrics in effect comprised the complete libretto. His last lyrics were heard in
The Vamp (1955) and in
Candide (1956). Latouche's work was celebrated in the Off‐Broadway revue
Taking a Chance on Love (2000).
