There are no text/lyrics; these Files were generated purely for Choral Rehearsing purposes (using a published piano-reduction Score), and so don't look pretty even though they should sound reasonable (though that depends very much on your hardware/software; mine is a Soundblaster AWE64 Gold).
There is rather dark performance of this Work by the Choir and Orchestra of the Teatro alla Scala di Milano conducted by Gianandrea Gavazzenion on YouTube starting at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xX-6LLZy8E .
At the moment there are Files only for Act 1 (Files for Acts 2 and 3 may follow, but ... don't hold your breath!). Note that the whole of Act 1 is sung without a pause, but for convenience here the Act has been split into six main sections, each identified by the first spoken words and the Score page number. Note also that the phrasing of the Notes in these Files matches - for the most part - the Italian words.
Finally, note that Opera is not really suited for conversion into NWC or Midi format, so while a slight attempt has been made to get it all to fit, it may not do so that well!
And finally finally, it's been difficult to squeeze all the Voices and Instruments into the standard 15 (+1) Channels, and the result may not always be quite right! So ... good luck!
Voice-emphasised Midi Files of the whole work can be downloaded for free from my Website (above). My Website (above) also contains Midi Files for several rather more modern Composers, for which NWC versions may be available.
