The first documented Opera performance in New Orleans was staged on May 22, 1796 at a small theatre on St. Peter Street. Throughout the 1800s and early 1900s, New Orleans was "The Opera Capital of North America," especially after the opening of the French Opera House in 1859. Numerous operas by the great European master composers had their American premieres at the French Opera House or at one of the numerous other theatres around town.

The first opera was called Dafne. It was written in 1597 by Jacopo Peri as an attempt to once again breathe live into Greek drama. The opera has been lost, but Peri's later work, Euridice, has survived and is still performed.
