雅各布·佩里 是意大利文艺复兴时期的作曲家和歌手。经常被称为歌剧的发明者。他在大约1597年所作曲的歌剧达芙妮常被视为首部歌剧作品。达芙妮的曲谱似乎没有流传下来，而他的另一部1600的作品尤丽狄茜，至今仍有演出。

Jacopo Peri (Zazzerino) (20 August 1561 – 12 August 1633) was an Italian composer and singer of the transitional period between the Renaissance and Baroque styles, and is often called the inventor of opera. He wrote the first work to be called an opera today, Dafne (around 1597), and also the first opera to have survived to the present day, Euridice (1600).
