The earliest Opera performed by Jacopo Peri is "Dafne," which premiered in 1598. It is considered one of the first examples of opera as a genre, blending music, drama, and poetry. While only fragments of the score survive today, "Dafne" played a crucial role in the development of early Baroque opera. Peri's work laid the groundwork for future composers in the opera tradition.
