Orfeo (Orpheus) is an opera in three acts by the Italian composer Antonio Sartorio. The libretto, by Aurelio Aureli, is based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. It was first performed at the Teatro San Salvatore, Venice in 1672. With its clear division between arias (of which there are about 50) and recitative, the work marks a transition in style between the Venetian opera of Francesco Cavalli and the new form of opera seria. Modern reactions to the work have been mixed, with Tim Carter describing it as "a fairly dismal example of a genre with all the symptoms of terminal decline...[Orfeo]'s journey to Hades seems almost a Sunday-school outing...Whether satire or not, this is indeed a sorry tale."

Con sus claras divisiones entre arias (de las que hay alrededor de 50) y recitativos, la obra marca una transición en estilo entre la ópera veneciana de Francesco Cavalli y la nueva forma de opera seria. Las reacciones modernas de la obra son ambivalentes, con Tim Carter describiéndolo como "un ejemplo bastante deprimente de un género con todos los síntomas de una decadencia terminal... El viaje [de Orfeo] al Hades parece casi una producción de escuela dominical... Sea o no una sátira, verdaderamente es un cuento lamentable." (es)
