[PAR] [TLE] L'Orfeo [SEP] L'Orfeo (SV 318) (] ), sometimes called La favola d'Orfeo ] , is a late Renaissance/early Baroque "favola in musica", or opera, by Claudio Monteverdi, with a libretto by Alessandro Striggio.  It is based on the Greek legend of Orpheus, and tells the story of his descent to Hades and his fruitless attempt to bring his dead bride Eurydice back to the living world.  It was written in 1607 for a court performance during the annual Carnival at Mantua.  While Jacopo Peri's "Dafne" is generally recognised as the first work in the opera genre, and the earliest surviving opera is Peri's "Euridice", "L'Orfeo" is the earliest that is still regularly performed. [PAR] [TLE] Kit violin [SEP] The kit violin, dancing master's kit, or kit, is a stringed instrument.  It is essentially a very small violin, designed to fit in a pocket – hence its other common name, the pochette (French for "small pocket").  It was used by dance masters in royal courts and other places of nobility, as well as by street musicians until around the 18th century.  Occasionally, the rebec was used in the same way.  Several are called for (as "violini piccoli alla francese" – small French violins) in Monteverdi's 1607 "Orfeo".
