Recognised for being the author of one of the earliest surviving operas, Claudio Monteverdi was a singer, composer, choirmaster and priest whose works marked the transition from the Renaissance to Baroque music. While dabbling in alchemy from Cremona to Venice, the prodigious Monteverdi developed a new approach for the human voice with unlimited flexibility and expressiveness in the melodic line.
