In 1607 verscheen zijn eerste opera, Orfeo. Zijn tweede opera, L'incoronazione di Poppea, is een grote stap vooruit in het genre.

We leven nog steeds in de romantiek en het lukt ons niet ons daaraan te ontworstelen. Het verleden fascineert ons en we verlangen naar roes en het exotische. Een romantisch nationalisme bloeit als nooit te voren. In zijn colleges zet Maarten Doorman uiteen dat de kracht van de romantiek schuilt in haar dynamiek en haar tegenstellingen: het zelf en de ander, gevoel en verstand, wetenschap en kunst.
