Peri composed Dafne for the Florentine Camerata between 1594 and 1597 with support from Jacopo Corsi.
The work was created for an elite circle of humanists in Florence. Jacopo Corsi provided support and possibly collaborated on the project, while poet Ottavio Rinuccini wrote the text for the new musical form.
