Extract

Ten-year intervals are well known to have been of special significance in the international history of staging Peer Gynt. The play was written in Southern Italy in 1866–7; it was first staged in Kristiania in 1876, and produced for the second time in Copenhagen in 1886. The Paris performance at the Théâtre de 1'Oeuvre with Lugné-Poë as The Old Man of the Dovre in 1896 marked the beginning of its becoming internationally known.
