Prinsessan av Cypern (Larsson)
''Prinsessan av Cypern'' (''The Princess of Cyprus'') is an opera in four acts by Lars-Erik Larsson, with a Swedish libretto by Zacharias Topelius, first performed in Stockholm in 1937, but subsequently withdrawn by its composer.〔Cnattingius CM. ''Contemporary Swedish Music.'' The Swedish Institute, Stockholm, 1973.〕
==Background==
The libretto by Zacharias Topelius is based on elements of the Finnish national epic Kalevala. Topelius combined part of the 11th song concerning Lemminkäinen’s attempts to win the proud virgin Kyllikki with other elements from the Kalevala, including Lemminkäinen’s visit to Tuonela. There are parallels to the Iliad and Odyssey, and Topelius uses the conflict of cultures between the noble Greeks and the barbaric Nordic countries.〔
Larsson wrote ''Prinsessan av Cypern'', his opus 9, from 1931 to 1936. While inspired by past composers, the music is often unmistakably by Larsson. The shepherd's revenge song is inspired by rune singing, and Anemotis's view of Hellas has exotic contours. Larsson gives each character a leitmotif, worked into dramatic storytelling.〔Programme booklet to the 2008 Malmö Opera production.〕
Fredrik Pacius used Topelius's story for his fairy-tale singspiel ''Prinsessan av Cypern'' (Helsinki, 28 November 1860).〔Fredrik Pacius. In: ''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera''. Macmillan, London and New York, 1997.〕
