“It seems that 'Oleanna' is in fact 'Oleana'. Ole Bull (1810-1880) was a Norwegian
1
virtuoso violinist who took his music all over the world until, finding himself in
Pennsylvania, he fell in love with the place. In 1852 he bought a vast tract of land and
tried to set up an idealistic community, which he called 'Oleana', where fellow
Norwegians could live peacefully and escape the tyrannies of their homeland. In fact, the
land he had bought was completely unsuitable for farming and the venture failed. He, and
many other settlers who had joined him, lost a great deal of money and most of them, Ole
Bull included, returned to Norway. The site of his venture is now the Ole Bull National
Park. An 'oleana' is thus used to refer to the hopeless pursuit of an idealistic, even utopian,
dream where all things are naively held to be possible”.
http://www.benchtheatre.org.uk/plays0203/oleanna.html Following is a version of the
Norwegian folk song Oleanna (Oleana), (Translation from the Norwegian by Pete Seeger)
Ole, oleanna, ole, oleannaole, ole, ole, ole, ole, oleanna Oh to be in Oleanna,
that's where I'd like to be.
