about

In the 17th Century, Florence, Italy was home to a thriving musical culture which helped establish the new Baroque style.   The wealth of the Medici court supported artists and musicians, including Giulio Caccini, who is well known today, and his daughter Francesca.  Francesca, born into the active musical court system, was singing, composing and acting by an early age, both in Italy and France.  Her family connections and innate talent allowed her to work professionally throughout her life, and she wrote music for at least sixteen theater productions.  In 1625 she composed La liberazione di Ruggiero, today considered to be the first opera composed by a women, commissioned by the Medici family to celebrate a visiting dignitary.  The short aria Dove io Credo is about belief in love which was lost, the chorus ending with “And so it goes, for one who loves and believes too much.”
