Mary tells Blackie that opera had been around for 150 years or so. In fact, it had been around for some 300 years at the time. It first appeared in 1598 in Florence, Italy with "Dafne" by Jacopo Peri. Unfortunately, most of it was lost with just a fragment remaining. Within half a century, it was well established in Germany and France as well.
