Who wrote the first opera and What was the title of the first opera?

By general consent, the first opera was Daphne or Dafne, first performed in 1598, music by Jacopo Corsi (-1604) and Jacopo Peri (1561-1633), libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini (1562-1621). If there were any earlier we have no record, and none of the score for Daphne remains.


When did opera history begin?

According to Wikipedia, "Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century (Jacopo Peri's lost Dafne, produced in Florence about 1597) and soon spread through the rest of Europe: Schütz in Germany, Lully in France, and Purcell in England all helped to establish their national traditions in the 17th century."


Who invented opera?

The earliest opera on record is Dafne by Jacopo Peri, an Italian composer. It is thought to have been written around 1597. Earlier Greek dramas were thought to have choruses that sung parts of the play, but those were not written as musical performances, hence the credit goes to the Italians.


When and where were the first operas composed?

The standard textbook answer regarding the first opera is 'Daphne' or 'Dafne' first performed in 1598 during Carnival at the home of Jacopo Corsi in Florence. The music was by Jacopo Peri to a libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini. It is recognized as such because it was the first of a series of similar pieces that established the form of early 17th century Italian opera. The score does not survive.
