Remarks

Liebes-Geschichte in engl.-norweg., frühmittelalterlichem Millieu, wie antikem Mittelmeerraum. Opernhafte Anlage der Szenen (das Betreten der Bühne, das unvermittelte Hinzutreten anderer, das ausführliche ariose Darbieten der eigenen Rede). Konventionelles Inventar mit Piraten und Intrigen. (o.s.)
