Petter Stenborg (1719 â€" 6 November 1781) was a Swedish stage actor

and theater director. He was the director of the Stenborg Company or

Svenska Comoedi-truppen from 1758 onward and as such the director of

the HumlegÃ¥rdsteatern (1773â€"80) in Stockholm. Petter Stenborg

played an important role in Swedish theater history: he was a member

of the pioneer actors of the first Swedish national stage in

Bollhuset, and as the leader of the Stenborg theatre company, one of

only two professional Swedish language theater companies active in the

mid 18th-century, he kept professional Swedish language theater alive

from the closure of the public theater in Bollhuset in 1754, until the

inauguration of the Royal Swedish Opera (1773) and Royal Dramatic

Theatre (1788).Petter Stenborg was initially a soldier of the Royal

Guard. In 1746, he was engaged as an actor in the theater of Bollhuset

in Stockholm. Two years after his employment, the director Charles

Langlois referred to him as one of the most valuable members of the

theater.Among his roles were Philemon in Syrinx by Lars Lalin or Peter

Lindahl with music by Johan Ohl, opposite Elisabeth Lillström (title

role) Peter Lindahl (Harlequin), Johanna Embeck (Chlorix), Trundman

(Sylvanus) and Elisabeth Olin (Astrild) in the 1747â€"48 season, which

is known as the first Swedish opéra comique, and he is also believed

to have had the leading role in Slafve-ön ('Slave island') by

Marivaux (1749â€"50).After the season of 1753â€"54, the Swedish

theater lost its permission to use the royal Bollhuset theater

building, which was transferred to the use of the French Du Londel

theater by king Adolph Frederick of Sweden and queen Louisa Ulrika.

The Swedish language theater split in two travelling Swedish theater

companies: the company of Peter Lindahl and Johan Bergholtz, and the

Stenborg Company of Petter Stenborg, which became the first two

Swedish language theater companies in Sweden.
