Streatfeild is a historical account written in the early 20th century that explores the development of opera from its inception to the modern repertoire. The book delves into the origins of opera, the evolution of various styles, and the contributions of pivotal composers like Monteverdi, Gluck, and Mozart.   The opening of this work introduces the early history of opera, detailing its accidental inception in late 16th century Florence, where enthusiasts attempted to revive Greek drama. Streatfeild highlights key figures such as Jacopo Peri, whose "Euridice" is noted as a landmark in operatic history, along with Monteverdi, who expanded the art form significantly. As the narrative progresses, we learn how opera evolved through the contributions of various composers across different cultures, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of opera’s rich history throughout the subsequent chapters.
