OttavioRinuccini is always associated with early opera, and even if most of his libretti are known and appreciated, little space is given to his literary and theatrical texts.
Rinuccini’s libretti, and to a certain extent the Ballo delle ingrate, are a balanced mixture of poetry, literary ambitions, and practical requirements.
Rinuccini’s sacred output, which can be reasonably assumed to have been written during the regency of Christine of Lorraine and Maria Maddalena of Austria, does not show as great a stylistic difference as seems to characterize all his theatrical texts after 1608.
