The opera/pastoral tragedy “La Morte d’Orfeo” by the Italian composer Stefano Landi was first performed in Rome in 1619 and dedicated to Alessandro Mattei, familiaris of Pope Paul V. The libretto, probably written by the composer himself, is partly inspired by Angelo Poliziano’s “La Favola d’Orfeo” (1484). Unlike Claudio Monteverdi’s opera “L’Orfeo” and the earliest Florentine operas on the same subject (Perri’s and Caccini’s “LEuridice”), Landi’s opera contains vivid comic episodes and characters and is like a sequel to the story of Orpheus.
