The exact date and place of Verazi's birth are unknown, but he was described in contemporary libretti as "Romano" (Roman). His first known opera libretto was for Niccolò Jommelli's "Ifigenia in Aulide" which premiered in Rome in 1751. It was the beginning of a 20-year friendship and collaboration, with Verazi producing the libretti for seven of Jomelli's operas, including "Ifigenia in Tauride" and the innovative "Fetonte". Verazi served as the official court poet and personal secretary to Charles Theodore in Mannheim from 1756 to 1778 and later worked in Milan and Munich were he died in 1794.

The culmination of these reforms arrived in the operas of Christoph Willibald Gluck. Beginning with "Orfeo ed Euridice", Gluck drastically cut back on the possibilities for vocal virtuosity afforded to singers, abolished "secco" recitative (thereby heavily reducing the delineation between aria and recitative), and took great care to unify drama, dance, music, and theatrical practice in the synthesis of Italian and French traditions. He continued his reform with "Alceste" and "Paride ed Elena". Gluck paid great attention to orchestration and considerably increased the role of the chorus: he also cut back heavily on exit arias. The labyrinthine subplots that had riddled earlier baroque opera were eliminated. In 1768, the year after Gluck's "Alceste", Jommelli and his librettist Verazi produced "Fetonte". Ensemble and chorus are predominant: the usual number of exit arias slashed in half. For the most part, however, these trends did not become mainstream until the 1790s, and the Metastasian model continued to dominate.
