Description: While there were semi-successful operatic experiments in Florence in the 1590s, Monteverdi's Orfeo was the first truly viable opera, first produced to great acclaim in February of 1607 in Mantua and the full score published soon after in Venice by Monteverdi's usual firm Amadino. The libretto was written by Alessandro Striggio (II), son of the Florentine composer Alessandro Striggio.

Act Three
Italian text
Possente Spirto e formidabil nume,
senza cui far passaggio a l'altra riva
alma da corpo sciolta in van presume.
Non viv'io, no, che poi di vita è priva
mia cara sposa, il cor non è più meco,
e senza cor com'esser può ch'io viva?
A lei volt'ho 'l camin per l'aer cieco,
a l'Inferno non già, ch'ovunque stassi
tanta bellezza il paradiso ha seco.
Orfeo son io che d'Euridice i passi
segue per queste tenebrose arene,
ove già mai per uom mortal non vassi.
O de le luci mie luci serene
s'un vostro sguardo può tornarmi in vita,
Ahi, chi nega il conforto a le mie pene ?
Sol tu, nobile dio puoi darmi aita,
nè temer dei, ché sopra un'aurea Cetra
Sol di corde soavi armo le dita
contra cui rigida alma invan s'impetra.
