This is a little different, but I guess something like this can be also used for concerts and other live performing arts published on DVD.

I'm trying to do credits for "The Adventures of Pinocchio" (UPC 809478070191), an opera recording from Opus Arte.  The crew credits are little different from movie credits and I'm wondering who and how to record these credits.

The main crew credits from the feature include in order

Music (?Composer credit)
Libretto (?Screenwriter credit)
Conductor
Stage Director (?Director)
Set & Costume Designer (?Prod Designer and Costume Designer)
Lighting Designer (no DVDP credit)
Movement Director (???)

There is no conventional crew (editor, director, producer, cinematographer listed)

There is also credit on the cover for

Recording Director (?Director)
Sound Producer
Recording and BD Producer
Recording and BD Executive Producer

What should these folks get credit for, if any?

Well, I profiled some Shakespeare productions from Opus Arte a while ago and I had to improvise some of the crew roles but I think I left most of them out in the end... I did credit both the stage and film/video directors though.

Quoting xradman:

Libretto (?Screenwriter credit)


Libretto would be Written by IMO, rather than screenwriter (since it wasn't written for the screen).  It should definitely be credited in some form, as they write all the elements outside of the composer.
