The end of the 1860s, when Grieg and Svendsen produced a series of outstanding works, marked a golden age in Norwegian cultural life. The Norwegian National Opera Orchestra and Ingal Bergbue present operatic overtures and ballets that are part of Norway's \"cultural heritage,\" composed before and after Grieg and his contemporaries. Valdemar Tråne's (1790-1828) \"The Mountain Tale\" is based on Henrik Anker Bjerregård's 1927 play of the same name, which was also made into a film. Mattin Andreas Woodview's (1820-1889) \"The Girl of Peace\" is an opera based on the Swedish princess Margareta Fredkulla (The Girl of Peace), who married Magnus III, King of Norway in the 12th century. Johannes Hallklow's (1847-1925) \"The Vikings of Istanbul\" was inspired by Wagner's music.Ole Ohlsen's (1850-1927) \"Lya\" from the symphonic poem \"Ride of Asgore\" and the symphony in G major (Sterling CDS10862).
