Was there any Viking ships portrayed in that opera? Or was it only blond, clean-shaved, blue-eyed, land-based Arian type of warriors?
I.e. as far from a Viking type that you can get?
Yes, we up here in the Nordic countries are well aware of the romantic picture of the Arian warrior that was popular in the mid 1800s -- it was even up here, not only in the former Prussia.
