Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic title Euridice is an opera in a prologue and one act by the Italian composer Giulio Caccini. The libretto, by Ottavio Rinuccini, had already been set by Caccini's rival Jacopo Peri in 1600. Caccini's version of Euridice was first performed at the Pitti Palace, Florence, on 5 December 1602.[1] Caccini hurriedly prepared the score for the press and published it six weeks before Peri's version appeared.
