A truly great romantic opera. Although written in this small country, it reflects the same kind of grandness found in the works of other operatic composers in this era.

"An impressive number of operas were written in Sweden before the 20th century...the case might be made that Den Bergtagna by Ivar Hallstrom is the finest of them all...The work that Den Bergtagna most closely resembles stylistically is Gounod's Faust...[the] score is sumptuously orchestrated...it is supremely melodious...Den Bergtagna cries out for major staging in one of America's great opera houses.." -Johnson, Fanfare
