	Rinuccini
		Librettist and poet, Ottavio Rinuccini was the author of La Dafne, a work considered the first drama in music.
		Rinuccini was a noble man, member of the Accademia Fiorentina and of the Accademia degli Elevati.
		He was part of the court of the Medici for whom, from 1579, he participated to the creation of the intermedios staged in Florence.

		Ottavio Rinuccini is always associated with early opera, and even if most of his libretti are known and appreciated, little space is given to his literary and theatrical texts.
		Rinuccini’s libretti, and to a certain extent the Ballo delle ingrate, are a balanced mixture of poetry, literary ambitions, and practical requirements.
		Rinuccini’s sacred output, which can be reasonably assumed to have been written during the regency of Christine of Lorraine and Maria Maddalena of Austria, does not show as great a stylistic difference as seems to characterize all his theatrical texts after 1608.

		During the 1580s and 1590s, Rinuccini was a constant presence in theatrical performances at court,[10] but the closest he got to transferring an action onto the stage was in 1589, with the famous cycle of the intermedi which formed part of the festivities for the wedding of Ferdinando I Medici and Christine of Lorraine.
		Rinuccini, the author of the text, outlined a potential plot, from the opening scene which presents the situation (Python has been terrorizing the inhabitants of Delos and they ask Giove for help) through an anagnorisis (Apollo's appearance and his victorious fight with Python) to the happy catastrophe (the liberation of Delos from the monster).
		Rinuccini's libretti are all devised as a 'chain of madrigals', with plenty of opportunities for lyric effusions by the main characters and the chorus.

	Libretti d'opera italiani: ordine per inserimento nel sito
		Maffei ricava nel 1730 da una sua vecchia favola pastorale un delicato libretto di gusto tardo seicentesco, da rappresentarsi con le scene dipinte da F. Bibbiena: dopo due anni di rinvii di natura politica, lo musica A. Vivaldi, chiamato a Verona per inaugurare finalmente il Teatro Filarmonico con il suo riconosciuto talento musicale.
		Testo del 1597, di O. Rinuccini, e musicato allora da J. Corsi e J. Peri; fu riproposto con la musica composta da M. Da Gagliano nel 1608 per la stessa occasione per cui fu composta l'Arianna di Monteverdi, su un libretto rimaneggiato senza togliere nulla al delizioso uso della lingua italiana.
		Da questa sua opera Rossini si ispirerà nel suo periodo francese per scrivere altri capolavori; trascritto dal libretto originale conservato a Napoli, questo testo di A. Tottola è qui proposto nella versione del 1819 con la preghiera finale.

	Origin of the Opera
		The first occasion on which this order was reversed was in the year 1594, when Ottavio Rinuccini, a Florentine poet, with little originality, but with a fine musical ear, united his efforts with those of three musicians--Peri, Corsi and Caccini.
		Rinuccini appeared to care less for his reputation as a poet than for displaying the art of his associates to the greatest advantage.
		The poet's object was to produce effect, and to this he readily sacrificed the conduct of the piece, hastening or retarding the course of events as he thought best adapted to musical exhibition, rather than to the natural expression of the passions.

	Jacopo Peri
		A general feeling that contemporary art was inferior to classical Greek and Roman works led to them attempting to recreate Greek tragedy[?].
		The poet Ottavio Rinuccini[?] was brought in to write a text, and the result, Dafne, though nowadays thought to be a long way from anything the Greeks would have recognised, is seen as the first work in a new form, opera.
		This was first performed on October 6, 1600, and, unlike Dafne, has survived to the present day (though it is hardly ever staged, and then only as an historical curio).

	What was the first opera? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The first opera was Daphne, first performed in 1598 during Carnival at the home of Jacopo Corsi (d.1604) in Florence, music by Corsi and Jacopo Peri (1561-1633), libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini (1562-1621).
		It is recognized as the first because it was the first of a series of similar pieces which established the form of early 17th century Italian opera, and all subsequent developments were based on that tradition.
		Corsi, Peri, and Rinuccini were members of a group who believed that the dramas of Classical Greek Antiquity were sung rather than spoken.

	The sound of true feeling
		Among the society's guests - or rather, its collaborators - were the musician, composer and musical theorist Vincenzo Galilei (1520-1591, father of the astronomer Galileo), the writers Ottavio Rinuccini (1563-1621) and Gabriello Chiabrera (1552-1638), and the composers Giulio Caccini (1550-1618) and Jacopo Peri (1561-1633).
		The Camerata was at once salon and laboratory, avant-garde and academy, concert hall and research institute.
		This partnership between Rinuccini and Peri continued with Euridice, the first completely preserved opera (performed in October, 1600 at the celebrations for the wedding of Maria de' Medici and King Henri IV of France).

		It was their aim to promote the principle of monodic musical declamation, i.e., a single melodic line with modest accompaniment inspired by the example of ancient Greek drama; accordingly, the earliest operas took their plots from mythology, the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice being one of the most popular.
		Although fragments of Jacopo Peri's Dafne (c.1597) exist, the same composer's Euridice (1600), set to verse by Ottavio Rinuccini, is generally considered the first opera.

		He was an important member of the literary and artistic circle which frequented the house of Giovanni Bardi, conte de Vernio, where the revival of Greek tragedy with its appropriate musical declamation was a favorite subject of discussion.
		With this end in view the poet Ottavio Rinuccini supplied a drama with the title of Dafne, to which Peri composed music, and this first attempt at opera was performed privately in 1597 in the Palazzo Corsi at Florence.
		This work was so much admired that in 1600 Rinuccini and Peri were commissioned to produce an opera on the occasion of the marriage of Henri IV of France with Marie de Medici.

		The first known opera, Dafne, was a collaboration between the Italian composers Jacopo Corsi and Jacopo Peri with a libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini.
		Circumstantial evidence suggests that Dafne was sung throughout, but some scholars think that the lack of a complete score for Dafne disqualifies the work from the running for the title of "first opera." They maintain that there just isn't enough proof without a full score.
