Emilio de' Cavalieri's Rappresentatione di Anima et di Corpo was premiered in 1600 in Rome. It was conceived to be performed in costume, bringing text and music together in a dramatic form, and is accepted as the first surviving opera.
"One of the many things about Rappresentatione that was unusual at the time is that it was conceived as a piece of theatre to be performed in costume, even though it was performed in a church. That much we know. Cavalieri rightly saw himself as the originator of this new art form that brought text and music together in dramatic form." Robert Carsen, director
"This Rappresentatione is as entertaining a sermon as you're ever likely to see. Does it belong in the opera house? Carsen certainly makes a persuasive case." Gramophone Editor's Choice June 2023
