The work 'Le Serrurier' is a French comic opera by François-Antoine Quétant, first performed in 1764. The metadata provided incorrectly identifies the original language as Latin; the text itself is clearly French. Extensive searches across multiple catalogs (local, Open Library, Internet Archive) yielded no evidence of any English translation of this libretto. Given its nature as a specific 18th-century French comic opera, it is highly likely that no English translation exists.
