Gustaf Fredrik Åbergsson née Åberg (27 March 1775- 20 July 1852 )

was a Swedish stage actor, theatre director and principal of Dramatens

elevskola. He belonged to the leading actors in the Swedish theatre

history. Gustav Ã…bergsson was born to Jonas Ã…berg, footman at the

royal court, and Fredrika Maria Svahn. His 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, although this

is unconfirmed. He was a student at the French Theatre of Gustav III

in Bollhuset in 1786, as was his sister Inga. According to popular

legend, King Gustav III of Sweden originally placed him as a student

in the Opera after having seen him in the park of Drottningholm

Palace: after discovering that they shared the same name, the king

asked him to sing a song. Gustav did so and blew kisses to the

audience after, and the king had kissed him on his forehead.He made

his debut on the Royal Dramatic Theatre in 1788, but performed on the

Stenborg Theatre until he was finally given a contract at the royal

theatre in 1798. He changed his surname from Ã…berg to Ã…bergsson,

because he wanted to avoid being connected to his sister, actress and

opera singer, Inga Ã…berg (1773â€"1837).
