Euridice was one of several music-theatrical works commissioned to
celebrate the wedding of Maria de' Medici and King Henri IV of
France in Florence in October 1600. As the first 'opera' to survive
complete, it has been viewed as a landmark work, but its libretto
by Ottavio Rinuccini and music by Jacopo Peri and Giulio Caccini
have tended to be studied in the abstract rather than as something
to be performed in a specific time and place. Staging "Euridice"
explores how newly-discovered documents can be used to precisely
reconstruct every aspect of its original stage and sets in the room
for which it was intended in the Palazzo Pitti. By also taking into
account what the singers and instrumentalists did, what the
audience saw and heard, and how things changed from creation
through rehearsals to performance, this book brings new aspects of
Euridice to light in startling ways.
