World premieres
Opera

- February: The opera Le rivali concordi, a “dramma” in three acts by Agostino Steffani based on the libretto by Ortensio Mauro , is premiered in Hanover.
- May 2nd : The masque or semi-opera The Fairy-Queen by Henry Purcell is premiered at the Dorset Garden Theater in London. The libretto is an anonymous adaptation of the Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare , the author is believed to be Thomas Betterton . At that time Shakespeare's Midsummer Night 's Dream is about a hundred years old; its text has been adapted to contemporary tastes and the role of the fairy queen has been more prominent. In particular, the work was shortened to allow the introduction of musical scenes. The Fairy Queen is a great success , but it turns out to be costly to perform. In order to recoup their expenses, the United Company theater company replayed the play the following year with some musical changes.

- Giovanni Battista Bononcini - La nemica d'Amore
