Hello!

Does anybody have suggestions for operatic repertoire for baritone/bass in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or Finnish? There is plenty of art song repertoire in those languages, but Nordic opera arias seem harder to find...
Here's what I have so far:
''Flickor skynden er'' from Estrella de Soria by Franz Berwald
''En Kraft mig gjennemstrommer'' from Festen på Kenilworth by Christoph Ernst Friedrich Weyse
...and that's it.

Any help is welcome.
Thank you and have a great day!

This may not be at all what you're seeking, but most of the major late-20th century Finnish operas by Sallinen and Rautavaara contain central or substantial baritone roles designed for Jorma Hynninen, often including extended baritone solos. Sallinen's Lear and Rautavaara's Rasputin also have central bass roles designed for Matti Salminen.
