The Norwegian folk rock band from Lom in Gudbrandsdalen established in 1982 based their concept album "Bukkerittet" on what five-act play in verse by the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen published in 1867?
Peer Gynt Peer Gynt ( ; ] ) is a five-act play in verse by the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen published in 1867. It was illustrated by Arthur Rackham as a children's book in 1936. Written in Danish—the common written language of Denmark and Norway in Ibsen's lifetime—it is one of the most widely performed Norwegian plays. Ibsen believed "Per Gynt", the Norwegian fairy tale on which the play is loosely based, to be rooted in fact, and several of the characters are modelled after Ibsen's own family, notably his parents Knud Ibsen and Marichen Altenburg. He was also generally inspired by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen's collection of Norwegian fairy tales, published in 1845 ("Huldre-Eventyr og Folkesagn").
Boris Godunov (opera) Boris Godunov (Russian: Борис Годунов , "Borís Godunóv") is an opera by Modest Mussorgsky (1839–1881). The work was composed between 1868 and 1873 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is Mussorgsky's only completed opera and is considered his masterpiece. Its subjects are the Russian ruler Boris Godunov, who reigned as Tsar (1598 to 1605) during the Time of Troubles, and his nemesis, the False Dmitriy (reigned 1605 to 1606). The Russian-language libretto was written by the composer, and is based on the drama "Boris Godunov" by Aleksandr Pushkin, and, in the Revised Version of 1872, on Nikolay Karamzin's "History of the Russian State".
