Can you summarize how opera began?
Around 1600, the Florentine Camerata had meetings where they discussed the possibility of a new art form (in the spirit of antiquity) that combined music, drama, and dance. In 1607, the first opera was performed, Orfeo. It was inspired by the Greek myth of Orpheus and Euridice.
What was the first opera to win widespread acclaim?
The first masterpiece of opera was Claudio Monteverdi's L'Orfeo of 1607. A few other composers--most notably of the Florentine camerata--had written operas that made a splash, but they were intended and viewed as experiments in reviving Ancient Greek drama, which the renaissance historians believed to have been completely sung.L'Orfeo was the first masterpiece of opera. It and two other operas of Monteverdi--"Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria"and "L'incoronazione di Poppea" survive complete and are performed by specialist companies today. Monteverdi wrote at least eight other operas. Most of these are completely lost. A single trio exists of one of these operas, and a single aria of another.
