Orfeo (Orpheus) is an opera in three acts, a prologue and an epilogue by the Italian composer Luigi Rossi. The libretto, by Francesco Buti, is based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Orfeo premiered at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris on 2 March 1647.[1] It was one of the earliest operas to be staged in France.
- ^ Some sources give the date of the premiere as 26 February or 3 March, but Loewenberg 1978, column 25, says these are incorrect.
