I don't think this Opera (Aniara) was witten in 1968 - that was the year Karl-Birger Blomdahl died. I think it Premiered May 31, 1959 at the Royal Swedish Opera, in Stockholm. I also think Harry Martinsons book Aniara was written in 1956 - not 1953. --Kricke
- I have the old Caprice recording of Blomdahl's Aniara, and in the booklet it says that Martinson's book is 1956, but doesn't say if that's when he wrote it or when it was published. It does say that some of Aniara was previously published in Cikada which was 1953. I can't see an exact date for the composition of the opera, but it does seem to have been premiered in 1959. I'll change the article accordingly, and when I get round to reading the booklet in full (there's a lot of it) I'll update the article a bit more. --Camembert
