For centuries, the myth of Orpheus, who frees the beloved Eiridiki from the underground kingdom by singing and lyre sounds, is usually associated with the work of Claudio Monteverdi. The Italian composer Antonio Sartorio (1630–1680), who took care of the effectiveness of the show with peculiarly interesting and atypical characters, such as a gypsy in Greece, taught centaur Hyron, an old nanny Erinda, took on a completely different story. The opera was performed for the first time San Salvatore Theater In Venice in 1672.
