The Doomsday Prophets
''The Doomsday Prophets'' (Swedish: ''Domedagsprofeterna'') is an opera by Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, to his own Swedish libretto, composed from 1912–17. It was first performed at the Royal Opera, Stockholm on 21 February 1919.〔Haglund R. Wilhelm Peterson-Berger. In: ''New Grove Dictionary of Opera.'' Macmillan, London and New York, 1997.〕
== Background ==
Based on a story which the composer found in the journal ''Den svenska Mercurius'' (1759), the opera features several historical characters (Bure, Skytte, Queen Kristina), and is set in the university city of Uppsala just before the end of the Thirty Years’ War in which Sweden became a major European power. The war increased people’s worries about the end of the world and two academics claim to have calculated when Doomsday will take place. The opera’s composition was completed during the First World War.
The first performance was conducted by Armas Järnefelt. 〔From notes by Stig Jakobson to the Sterling CD of excerpts from a 1984 Swedish Radio performance conducted by Ulf Söderblom (CDS 1069-2).〕
