 There was also to be an opera, though it was not initially certain that Monteverdi would provide this.Other works under consideration were Peri's "Le nozze di Peleo e Tetide" ("The marriage of Peleus and Thetis") with a libretto by Francesco Cini, and a new setting of "Dafne" by Marco da Gagliano.In the event, the former was rejected and the latter designated for performance at the 1607–08 Carnival.
