- L'Euridice, the earliest surviving opera, in its original version, as it was premiered in Florence on October 6, 1600, with music by Jacopo Peri and Giulio Caccini, is here performed live with period instruments on October 6, 2000, by students and guests at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, directed by John Walter Hill. The performance took place as part of an international conference commemorating the 400th anniversary of the birth of opera. The scholarly papers presented at the conference are published online in The Journal of Seventeenth‒Century Music, www.sscm-jscm.o...
I still remember that my 8th grade music teacher Eloise Haldeman (sister of Nixon's Chief of Staff H. R. Haldeman) taught us that Euridice by Peri was the first opera. Hardly ever performed today, although Monteverdi's three existing operas are still widely heard by audiences, especially in Europe.
Dafne was the first but Euridice is the oldest surviving. (Both by Peri;)
I bow to the students and guests at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign! With such beautiful souls and voices, opera is in very safe hands. Thank you for posting.
As the first opera that survived, this is a great piece of work. Thanks for sharing it!
October 6, 1600 - Euridice, the earliest surviving opera, receives its première performance, beginning the Baroque period.

Euridice (also Erudice or Eurydice) is an opera by Jacopo Peri, with additional music by Giulio Caccini. It is the earliest surviving opera, Peri's earlier Dafne being lost. (Caccini wrote his own "Euridice" even as he supplied music to Peri's opera, published this version before Peri's was performed, in 1600, and got it staged two years later.) The libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini is based on books X and XI of Ovid's Metamorphoses which recount the story of the legendary musician Orpheus and his wife Euridice.
The opera was first performed in Florence on 6 October 1600 at the Palazzo Pitti with Peri himself singing the role of Orfeo.

My heart melts when the flutes come in. Around 18:40. Right after some asshat coughs...
yeah what an inconsiderate bastard for coughing, an autonomous act that every human is subject to, including yourself!!!
¡¡¡ AH, BENDITA TECNOLOGÍA !!!
Thank you for this beautiful oldest surviving opera. Interesting and beautiful. Best regards.
Este tema , L'Euridice , la primera opera conservada , que en realidad es la segunda compuesta porque la primera ( La Dafne ) no ha sobrevivido a nuestro tiempo , tiene un poder que yo catalogaria como magico , ya que se convierte en algo asi como una maquina del tiempo que nos traslada al año 1600 ...
Direis que cualquier opera antigua podria crear esa sugestion , y si , es cierto , pero tambien entiendo que es cierto que como la primera ninguna la creara ...
Todas las que siguieron fueron y son deudoras de esta L'Euridice
Ademas , no puede negarsele a esta luminosa y extraordinaria obra , a la luz de una escucha atenta , la inmensa modernidad y frescura que aporto a un panorama musico-teatral que ya estaba periclitado desde hacia muchisimo tiempo con su anticuada y ya vieja monodia ... que pedia urgentemente un cambio de estructura que lo modernizara para poder seguir avanzando.
Es en este sentido donde Jacopo Peri se muestra adelantado a su tiempo , encabezando la evolucion musical que hara posible la llegada de un Renacimiento Monteverdiano mas coherente si cabe de lo que podriamos percibir sino tuvieramos en cuenta la obra de Peri , que apoya y amplifica el eco de La fábula del Orfeo Monteverdiano , mal considerado por algunos como la primera opera de la historia , pues es en realidad deudora de la obra de Peri y posterior a ella.
Jacopo Peri : "L'Euridice" año 1600 ( sin contar con "La Dafne, favola drammatica" compuesta en 1597 y que se encuentra perdida )
Claudio Monteverdi : "La fábula de Orfeo" año 1607
Gracias a jwhill7 por haber traido aqui un tema tan interesante .
Thank you so much for doing and sharing this! A great global cultural deed.
Grazie mille del prezioso caricamento!!
Beautiful, no auto tune pure natural
Yes this is a mix of Caccini's and Peri's music, exactly as it was at the first public performance. There is no real evidence that Peri composed a complete setting of the opera before Caccini wrote any part of it. Rinuccini and, to some extent, Peri seem to make this claim, but there is no supporting evidence for it. The most likely scenario is that both composers contributed to the first performance, exactly as in this recording, and then both went on to complete their published versions of the whole opera afterward.
Valioso y serio aporte al estudio histórico del Sistema Musical Occidental y de la ópera.
Concuerdo
A quei dodici che in data sei Ottobre 2021 hanno indicato che non apprezzano quest'edizione consiglio di dedicarsi ad altre attività in quanto evidentemente esseri di modesta qualità intellettiva
I like to open recitals with Orfeo's invocation from this Opera...probably the only part of it that is regularly performed...and its not performed all that often. I'm glad to hear this recording with a healthy tone vs a forced straight tone!
I wonder if this has been a source of inspiration for Monteverdi's L'Orfeo. The initial overture sounds very similar and the rest is not devoid of similarities.
I sing it too, but only privately.
The beginning of the opera reminds me of Orfeo's intro by Monteverdi
That is because Monteverdi, in composing Orfeo, referenced many aspects of L'Euridice, which was written seven years earlier than his opera, and because you are more familiar with Orfeo than you are with L'Euridice.
I'm not famiiar with Orfeo of Monteverdi!!!!!!! Monteverdi get inspired by Euridice of this composer. But its interesting to look for the earliest origins of opera: 1550 till 1600.
I think that the intro is not original from Euridice, it doesn´t exists in other versions.
@@richardgarcia6483 If by "intro" you mean the Prologue, it is most certainly in Peri's original score. However, an improvised variation technique has been applied, so that rather than repeat the same music for each stanza of text, the music is varied to accommodate the different intonation, inflection, and accentuation of the changing text. Monteverdi wrote out this process in Orfeo, but Peri left it to the performer, as was customary. And here, we simply realize Peri's general intention.
@@richardgarcia6483 I believe you are referring to the fanfare that precedes the Prologue. That is my realization of the abbreviated notation of "La Rinuccina" by Girolamo Fantini, as printed in his treatise on trumpet playing, Modo per Imparare a sonare di tromba, published in Florence, 1638. Monteverdi wrote his own fanfare to precede Orfeo, but normally the trumpet corps would have provided the fanfare from its customary repertoire. In effect, that is what I have done, here. And, incidentally, I played all five parts on this recording.
07:40 is good
It's important to say that there are two "Euridice", and it's not a piece born by the collaboration of this two composers. Peri wrote an "Euridice" but Caccini imposed to his students, who were the payed musician supposed to play Peri's Euridice, to play his own version. The Caccini's one is the first Euridice shown, but it was written first by Peri. By the way, for a lot of formal things, the Peri's Euridice in considered the first opera. :)
This is the out-dated view based on an uncritical acceptance of the account given by Jacopo Peri's ally, Ottavio Rinuccini. The actual evidence does not support this view. Caccini's setting of Euridice must have been completed no later than Peri's, or else it could not have been published when it was.

someone that knows the instruments
"L`Euridice" is not the earliest surviving opera. The earliest surviving opera is "La Rappresentazione di anima е di corpo" by Emilio de' Cavalieri.
Cavalieri's work is not an opera but rather a sacra rappresentazione.
@@jwhill7 I disagree. By all indications, this is an opera. Then, and not an opera Euridice? Then still this concept (opera) was absent.
Komplet krank
nothing will make me forgive the APPALLING Italian pronunciation...
I stand corrected, the pronunciation seems to improve as we go on.
