Work comment

"Den bedragne Paschan" [The betrayed/scorned Pasha] was composed by Olof Åhlström (a.o.?) to a libretto by King Gustav III of Sweden (1789). It was performed at the centennial celebration at the Kungl. Stora Teatern (the Royal Theatre in Stockholm) at the end of September and beginning of October, 1882. It is possible that the ballet was added in view of this occasion.
