Although not strictly speaking an opera, it was a staged, sacred drama by one of the leading lights of the Camerata, whose desire to achieve music drama he shared. First performed in 1600 - the same year as the Peri and Caccini versions of Euridice - Rappresentazione?both looks to the past as much to the future and occasionally employs the monodic style of the 'new music'. De Cavalieri later maintained that audiences found his work more entertaining and more tuneful than the first operas produced by his colleagues in the Camerata!
