Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Claudio Monteverdi sired the genre of Opera! 

In this episode: Francesco Uttini, Lovisa Ulrike, Gustav III, Thetis och Pelée, the first Swedish opera. Minor correction: it was also normal for Opera to be over an hour long in Uttini's time, I misspoke! Theamericanskald.com/blog
