This book introduces a new perspective on Claudio Monteverdi's
Orfeo (1607), a work widely regarded as the 'first great opera', by
exploring the influence of the Mantuan Accademia deglia Invaghiti,
the group which hosted the opera's performance, and to which the
libretto author, Alessandro Striggio the Younger, belonged. Arguing
that the Invaghiti played a key role in shaping the development of
Orfeo, the author explores the philosophical underpinnings of the
Invaghiti and Italian academies of the era. Drawing on new primary
sources, he shows how the Invaghiti's ideas about literature,
dramaturgy, music, gender, and aesthetics were engaged and
contested in the creation and staging of Orfeo. Relevant to
researchers of music history, performance, and Renaissance and
Baroque Italy, this study sheds new light on Monteverdi's opera as
an intellectual and philosophical work.
