Best Answer

Found this in a Wikipedia article about Opera:

Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century (with Jacopo Peri's lost Dafne, produced in Florence in 1598) and soon spread through the rest of Europe.

As always, though, you have to verify the information on your own. Hope this helps!
