L'Orfeo (L'Orfeo, favola in musica, SV 318, or La Favola d'Orfeo, or The Legend of Orpheus) is one of the earliest works recognized as an opera, composed by Claudio Monteverdi with text by Alessandro Striggio for the annual carnival of Mantua. It was first performed before the Accademia degl'Invaghiti on 24 February 1607 in a now unidentifiable room in the ducal palace at Mantua, and was published in Venice in 1609. The opera saw its modern debut on 25 February 1904 in a concert version in Paris directed by Vincent d'Indy. The opera continues to be regularly performed and its anniversary year of 2007 saw many productions.

  • It's uplifting; I feel elegant and glorified when I hear this work by Monteverdi; and you know that can't be bad!

  • @fabinaoasc - thank you so much for sending me the musical "pearl"... It's magnificent

  • What an emotion to ear this sublime music and see the Santa Maria della Salute at the head of the Grand Canal in Venice! Thank you so much for uploading this pure gem! A few minute walk leads to Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari where Monteverdi is burried.

  • His madrigal Cruda Amarilli uses unprepared dissonances cruel

  • Oh glory

  • I listened to this piece for the first time in a version of Wendy Carlos and I must admit I liked it so much, but of course, the original is the best. :)
