	Opera
		"Dafne" by Jacopo Peri was the earliest composition considered opera, as understood today.
		Significantly, Dafne was an attempt to revive the classical Greek drama, part of the wider revival of antiquity characteristic of the Renaissance.
		The members of the Camerata considered that the "chorus" parts of Greek dramas were originally sung, and possibly even the entire text of all roles; opera was thus conceived as a way of "restoring" this situation.

		The earliest work considered an opera in the sense the work is usually understood dates from around 1597.
		It is Dafne, (now lost) written by Jacopo Peri for an elite circle of literate Florentine humanists who gathered as the "Camerata".
		Additionally, the music of Hildegard of Bingen has been given dramatic staged performances.
