Det sjungande trädet (opera)
''Det sjungande trädet'' (''The Singing Tree'') Op.110 is an opera in two acts by the Finnish composer Erik Bergman. The Swedish-language libretto, based on a Swedish fairy tale, was written by Bo Carpelan. The opera premiered on 3 September 1995 at the Helsinki Opera House.
==Background and performance history==
''Det sjungande trädet'' was Bergman's only full-length opera and was composed between 1986 and 1988 as a commission from the Finnish National Opera.〔〔Anderson, Martin (9 May 2006). ("Erik Bergman, Grand Old Man of Finnish music" ). ''The Independent''. Retrieved 21 March 2015.〕 Prior to that, the closest he had come to the operatic genre was his 1971 ''Samothrake'' Op. 69, a 12-minute "musico-dramatic tableau" for speaker, mixed choir, and dancers.〔Kaipainen, Jouni (1992). ("Bergman's Grand Synthesis" ). ''Nordic Sounds'', Vol 11, pp. 6–8〕〔Allmusic.com. (''Samothrake'' Op. 69 ). Retrieved 21 March 2015.〕 Carpelan's libretto is primarily based on the Swedish fairy tale, ''Prins Hatt under jorden'' (Prince Hatt under the Ground) which was in turn based on the ancient myth of Cupid and Psyche, but it also incorporates other elements from Swedish and Finnish folk tales.〔〔Korhonen, Kimmo (1998).

The opera had been originally commissioned for the opening season of the new Helsinki Opera House in 1993/94, but the complex structure of the work with 22 separate scenes, each with its own lighting and other technical requirements, led to a postponement of the premiere.〔 However, it was recorded in 1992 at Finlandia Hall conducted by Ulf Söderblom and released on the Ondine label later that year. Bergman was awarded the 1994 Nordic Council Music Prize for ''Det sjungande trädet'',〔Beyer, Anders (1994). ("In Search of Silence: A Meeting with Finnish Composer Erik Bergman" ). ''Nordic Sounds'', Vol 13, pp. 14–17. Online version retrieved 17 February 2015.〕 and it received its first staged performance on 3 September 1995 at the Helsinki Opera House as part of the Helsinki Festival, again conducted by Söderblom.〔Casaglia, Gherardo (2005). ("Erik Valdemar Bergman" ). Almanacco Amadeus. Retrieved 17 February 2015 .〕〔White, John David; Christensen, Jean (2002). (''New Music of the Nordic Countries'' ), p. 160. Pendragon Press〕 It was performed again in 1999 at the Deutsche Oper Berlin in a touring production by the Finnish National Opera.〔Hanssen, Frederik (11 October 1999).
