Talk:Rappresentatione di Anima, et di Corpo

I think the opera / oratorio itself needs an entry but what should go under Cavalieri and what should be here is not obvious.

Unfortunately this article is misleading. It's ironic that it references the New Grove Dictionary of Music, which it directly contradicts. The first opera was Dafne, written 6 years before this Cavalieri work. As far as Dafne not "surviving" -- parts are gone, though enough of it still exists that arias from it are still performed.

Also, check out the Euridice opera (every note of which still exists) by Jacopo Corsi and Jacopo Peri -- presented at the proxy marriage of Maria de' Medici in approximately the same timeframe as the Cavalieri work.
