Dafne in lauro (Daphne as a laurel tree) is a chamber opera, a componimento per camera, composed by Johann Joseph Fux to a libretto by Pietro Pariati and performed for the imperial court before dinner on 1 October 1714 in the Favorita garden, Vienna, for the birthday of Emperor Charles VI.
[1] The opera is based on the myth of Apollo and Daphne, where Daphne pleads to Diana to be saved from Apollo's pursuit of her and is turned into a laurel tree.
