Inga %C3%85berg


Inga berg was a Swedish actress and opera singer, one of the most popular and well known actors of her time in Sweden. She was active both as an actress at the Royal Dramatic Theater, and as an opera singer at the Royal Swedish Opera between 1787 and 1810.

Inga berg was born to Jonas berg, footman and later economy master at the royal court, and Fredrika Maria Svahn. Her father is thought to have been the son of Beata Sabina Straas, the first professional native actress in Sweden to perform on a public stage in 1737 Straas, at the time of her marriage to Anders berg, had been a chambermaid at the royal court before she joined the stage, and after a short career returned to the royal court with her husband, where they were both to remain employed on the royal staff to their death. This is not confirmed, however.
