Доп. информация
The Danish composer Hakon Børresen, was a pupil of the Norwegian composer, conductor and violinist Johan Svendsen, an intimate friend of Richard Wagner. He enjoyed an active career in the musical life of his native country, while preserving his artistic independence.
He won considerable success in Denmark with his 1919 opera Den kongelige gaest (‘The Royal Guest’), a work followed in 1921 by another opera, Kaddara. His ballet Tycho Brahes drøm (‘Tycho Brahe’s Dream’) was staged in 1924.
Den Kongelige Gæst (English: The Royal Guest) is an opera in one act, the libretto is by Svend Leopold, and is based on a story by Henrik Pontoppidan. The opera was first given on November 15, 1919, at the Royal Danish Theatre, and has since proven to be among the most popular of Danish operas.
The story plays out an evening in a doctor's home on the Jutland peninsula around 1900. Dr. Høyer and his wife are expecting guests for a dress ball. However, all the guests decline at the last moment, and Dr. Høyer is irritated, but slightly relieved. Instead, the family receives a surprise visitor, the unknown gentleman Prince Carnival, who acts in a free and easy manner, playing the piano, talking with Dr. Hoyer's wife, and suggesting to the couple to carry on with the party.
