Ran (opera)

the premiere production

Ran is a 1903 Swedish-language opera in three acts by Wilhelm Peterson-Berger. Titled after the sea goddess Ran, the subject and Wagnerian influence precedes his better known opera on Nordic legend Arnljot.^[1] Successful in its day, the piano reduction of "Danslek" (playful dance) is the only excerpt remembered today.^[2]
