Jacopo Peri
The Italian composer, Jacopo Peri, was known by his nickname, Il Zazzerino. Today, he is sometimes known as the inventor of opera. By 1583 he had already published a madrigal and instrumental and he wrote the first work to be called an opera today, Dafne (around 1597). Peri also composed the first opera to have survived to the present day, Euridice (1600), along with Giulio Caccini.
