Carl Stenborg

Carl Stenborg (8 September 1752 – 1 August 1813) was a Swedish opera singer, composer and theatre director.

[2] He received a good education, debuted as a concert singer in Riddarhuset in 1766 and was appointed councillor at the Royal Court of Sweden in 1767.

Although he sang tenor roles, his voice was known for its dexterity and dark timbre and was nearer to that of a baritone.

The engagement had been long because of the unwillingness of Elisabeth Olin to give her consent to the marriage between her daughter and her own former lover.

He gave his last performance at a concert on Riddarhuset 27 February 1808, "to the great surprise of everyone" opposite Elisabeth Olin, which now also gave her last performance, and Jeanette Wässelius, with music of the royal chapel, Johann Christian Friedrich Hæffner, Freidrich Müller and his own daughter, the pianist Carolina Stenborg (1798–1869).
