No, Peer Gynt is a play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. It is written in verse, but most of the text is not set to music, as would be the case with an Opera.

Ibsen asked composer Edvard Grieg to write incidental music for the play. Several years later, Grieg arranged two orchestral suites out of selected movements, which are the pieces most frequently performed, today. The complete score for the music written for the play was not published until after Grieg's death.
