The author was surprised to see Nicola and Jacopo working as shoe-shine boys because the other day he had seen them selling wild strawberries. He could not understand their necessity to work so hard and do multi-tasking.

Opera as an art form is approximately 400 years old. Some of the earliest works recognized as operas are:Dafne (1597) by Jacopo PeriEuridice (1600) by Jacopo PeriL'Orfeo (1607) by Claudio MonteverdiL'Arianna (1608) by Claudio Monteverdi
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.
The standard textbook answer is - 'Daphne'. First performed in 1598 during the Carnival at the home of Jacopo Corsi in Florence. The music was by Corsi and Jacopo Peri to a libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini. It is recognized as such because it was the first of a series of similar compositions that established the form of early 17th century Italian opera. All subsequent developments were based on that tradition.
