Opera originated in Italy during the late 16th century, specifically in Florence. The Florentine Camerata, a group of intellectuals and musicians, played a key role in the development of opera as a new form of musical and dramatic expression. The first recorded opera, "Dafne" by Jacopo Peri, was performed in Florence in 1598. Italy remains a central hub for opera production and performance to this day.
