Opera originated in the late 16th century, with its roots in Italy around the year 1597. The first recognized opera is "Dafne," composed by Jacopo Peri, though it was "L'Orfeo" by Claudio Monteverdi in 1607 that gained significant acclaim and is often considered the first great opera. This art form quickly spread throughout Europe, evolving into various styles and traditions.
