Daniel Börtz (born august 8, 1943 in Hässleholm) is a Swedish composer. As a composer, Börtz has always been drawn to the great themes of life: the mystery of human existence, the gift of inner experience, the tremendous power of myth, the inexhaustible richness of symbols, and the tragic blindness of fanaticism. In his seminal opera Bacchae, inspired by the famous Greek playwright Euripides, Börtz skillfully adapted his musical idiom to the primal energy of the myth underlying the story. <a hre
